Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 10 MRSA c. 228 is enacted to read:
CHAPTER 228
SALE OF INDIAN ARTS AND CRAFTS PRODUCTS
§ 1500-G. Unlawful acts; deceptive trade practice
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill and establishes that a violation of the federal law pertaining to misrepresentation of Indian products is also a violation of the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act, which is enforceable by the Office of the Attorney General. It also establishes that an action brought by the Office of the Attorney General to enforce these provisions does not prevent a person from bringing a civil action to obtain injunctive or equitable relief or damages under the Federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.
