Source excerpt

Late-registered coastal islands are held by the Bureau of Parks and Lands until the owner files registration; overdue owners must also pay $50 plus the $10 registration fee.

Each and every coastal island which the true owner has failed to register shall be held in the possession, custody and control of the Bureau of Parks and Lands until such time as the true owner files a registration, in the same manner as required under section 1205, with the Coastal Island Registry. [PL 1975, c. 509, §7 (RPR); PL 1995, c. 502, Pt. E, §30 (AMD); PL 2011, c. 657, Pt. W, §7 (REV); PL 2013, c. 405, Pt. A, §24 (REV).] 1. Penalty fee. A true owner who has not registered his coastal island on or before December 31, 1975, shall pay the sum of $50 in addition to the $10 registration fee. [PL 1975, c. 509, §7 (NEW).] 2. Income. All income derived from coastal islands which are under the possession, custody and control of the Bureau of Parks and Lands shall not be redeemable by the true owner, but shall accrue to the Bureau of Parks and Lands to be used for the management of the public lands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Public Lands Management Fund is established, such income shall be deposited in said fund. [PL 1975, c. 509, §7 (NEW); PL 1995, c. 502, Pt. E, §30 (AMD); PL 2011, c. 657, Pt. W, §7 (REV); PL 2013, c. 405, Pt. A, §24 (REV).]
