Prize cap for two Maine ice fishing derbies

The law caps the total prizes at $100,000 for each derby. It applies to the Sebago Lake derby in Cumberland County and the Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby in northern Aroostook County. Organizers must run the events in line with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s fisheries goals. This cap limits how much entrants can win at those events.
