I thought FFLs did that anyway? I always get extra lit when I buy a gun. I usually trash it and never look at it but I do get some.

Bill is on the House floor right now

I'm not so sure. Now they are voting on amendments to the bill. And it looks like the house committee report was Ought not to pass which is what they voted 83-63 on. Current amendment would require permit holders to notify police immediately upon encountering the police.
Scratch that, the majority report failed:
AUTH CARRYING OF CONCEALED HANDGUNS W/O A PERMIT, ACC MAJ OUGHT NOT TO PASS REP, Yea 63 Nay 79
Correct that vote was first.
Surprised that there are a lot of permit holders in the house
I understand the process now. What happened is the majority report (ought not to pass, equal to ITL in NH) failed 63-79. So a motion to accept the minority report of Ought to Pass as amended was put forth and that was accepted 83-62.
AUTH CARRYING OF CONCEALED HANDGUNS W/O A PERMIT, ACC MIN OTP AS AMENDED REP, Yea 83 Nay 62
Now we are in the amendment phase.
AUTH CARRYING OF CONCEALED HANDGUNS W/O A PERMIT, ACC MIN OTP AS AMENDED REP, Yea 83 Nay 62
Now we are in the amendment phase.
Keeping fingers crossed!
I think the amendment requiring officer notification passed:
6-1, LD 652, AUTH CARRYING OF CONCEALED HANDGUNS W/O A PERMIT, ADOPT HAH-242 TO CAS-119, Yea 81 Nay 65
Which means the bill must now go back to the senate.
6-1, LD 652, AUTH CARRYING OF CONCEALED HANDGUNS W/O A PERMIT, ADOPT HAH-242 TO CAS-119, Yea 81 Nay 65
Which means the bill must now go back to the senate.
Passage to be Engrossed: After the debating and amending processes are completed, a vote is taken in both chambers to pass the measure to be engrossed. "Engrossing" means printing the bill and all adopted amendments together in an integrated document for enactment. Bills passed to be engrossed are prepared by the Revisor's Office and sent to the House and then the Senate for final enactment.

From the bill summary:
6/1/2015 - Under suspension of the rules, the Bill was given its SECOND READING without REFERENCE to the Committee on Bills in the Second Reading.
The Bill was PASSED TO BE ENGROSSED as Amended by Committee Amendment "A" (S-119) as Amended by House Amendment "A" (H-242), House Amendment "B" (H-247) and Senate Amendment "B" (S-153) thereto.
In NON-CONCURRENCE and sent for concurrence.
ORDERED SENT FORTHWITH.
Here are the House amendments that passed:
Duty to inform officer immediately if carrying concealed:
http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=SP0245&item=11&snum=127
It appears as though this amendment also passed that limits constitutional carry to those age 21 or older:
http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=SP0245&item=7&snum=127
Not perfect but still better than the current permit system.

Duty to inform......does that mean if I am in line at dunks and a sherrif gets in line behind me I have to tell him I am carrying?
Can't view doc for some reason....

So Maine law is now worse than before...splendid.
If Maine now requires you to inform police of your lawful conduct, it's worse.

They probably were confused by press reports on the bill. When Kansas passed con carry a few months ago, I saw article saying "kansas residents can now carry without a permit" type wording. The media doesn't understand gun laws and how the exact wording of a bill is a very important thing. I saw articles that had it as only kansas residents and for any non PP. I tweeted one of the sponsors of the bill in the kansas legislature to get it confirmed it was true con carry.
