Upon motion by the defendant, the court must dismiss the case either with or without prejudice if it finds that the defendant's trial did not commence within the applicable time limit or any enlargement of that limit. Any victim of the crime for which the defendant is charged must be notified of any hearing to determine whether the defendant's rights under the Act have been violated, and that victim may object to the dismissal of charges and may be heard by the court at the time of that hearing.

In Committee
LD1822 An Act to Enact the Maine Online Data Privacy Act This bill enacts the Maine Online Data Privacy Act, which takes effect July 1, 2026. The Act regulates the collection, use, processing, disclosure, sale and deletion of nonpublicly available personal data by a person that conducts business in this State or that produces products or services targeted to residents of this State, referred to in the Act as a "controller," if the personal data is linked or can be reasonably linked to an identified or identifiable individual who is a resident of this State, referred to in the Act as a "consumer," or is linked or reasonably can be linked to a device that is linked or reasonably can be linked to an identified or identifiable consumer. Under the Act, a controller must limit the collection and processing of personal data to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide or maintain a specific product or service requested by the consumer, except that the controller must limit the collection and processing of certain sensitive data to what is strictly necessary to provide or maintain a specific product or service requested by the consumer. Under the Act, "sensitive data" includes data revealing a consumer's race or ethnic origins, religious beliefs, mental or physical health conditions or diagnoses, sexual orientation, gender identity, citizenship or immigration status; genetic or biometric data; precise geolocation data; social security, driver's license or nondriver identification card numbers; specific financial or account access information; data of a minor under 18 years of age; or data concerning the consumer's status as the victim of a crime. The Act establishes that consumers have the right to confirm whether a controller is processing their data; correct inaccuracies in their personal data; require the controller to delete any portion of their personal data that the controller is not required to maintain by law; obtain a copy of their personal data in a format that can be readily transferred to another controller; obtain a list of the 3rd parties to which the controller has sold personal data; and opt out of the processing of their personal data for purposes of targeted advertising, sale or consumer profiling. The Act also prohibits a controller from selling any sensitive data; processing the personal data of a minor for purposes of targeted advertising or sale; processing personal data in a manner that discriminates against a person in violation of state or federal law; and retaliating against a consumer for exercising a consumer's rights under the Act, except that a controller may offer different prices or selection of goods in connection with a consumer's voluntary participation in a bona fide loyalty or discount program. The Act also requires a controller to provide consumers with a privacy notice specifying how a consumer may exercise the consumer's rights under the Act; the categories of personal data processed by the controller; the purposes for processing the personal data; the categories of personal data transferred to 3rd parties; and the categories of 3rd parties to whom personal data is shared. The controller must establish, implement and maintain reasonable data security practices and a retention schedule that requires the disposal of personal data by the controller either when deletion is required by law or when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was processed and retention of the data is not required by law. The controller must also require, by contract, that any person who processes a consumer's personal data on behalf of the controller treats the personal data confidentially and deletes or returns all personal data to the controller at the end of the processing, unless retention of the data is required by law. If a controller engages in a data processing activity that presents a heightened risk of harm to a consumer, including processing any data for targeted advertising, sale or profiling or any processing of sensitive data, the controller must conduct and document a data protection assessment identifying and weighing the benefits and potential risks of the processing activity. The controller may be required to disclose the data protection assessment to the Attorney General, who must keep it confidential, when the assessment is relevant to an investigation conducted by the Attorney General. The Act further prohibits any person from establishing a geofence within 1,750 feet of any in-person health care facility in the State, other than the operator of the facility, for the purpose of identifying, tracking, collecting data from or sending a notification regarding consumer health data to consumers who enter that area. The provisions of the Act do not apply to specifically enumerated persons, including the State, political subdivisions of the State and federally recognized Indian tribes in the State; nonprofit organizations; institutions of higher education; federally registered national securities associations; supervised financial organizations and service corporations; health care facilities and health care practitioners as well as their affiliates that both qualify as business associates and provide services only to covered entitites; state-licensed and authorized insurers that are in compliance with applicable Maine laws governing insurer data security and data privacy; and broadband Internet service providers to the extent those providers are subject to the data privacy requirements of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, section 9301. In addition, the provisions of the Act do not apply to specifically enumerated types of data, including, for example: nonpublic personal information regulated under the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; protected health information under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996; personal data regulated by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974; data processed and maintained by the controller regarding an applicant for employment or employee to the extent the data is collected and used within the context of that role; and data necessary for the controller to administer benefits. The Act also does not prohibit controllers from engaging in specifically enumerated activities, including, for example: complying with state or federal law; complying with investigations or subpoenas from federal, state or tribal governmental authorities; cooperating with federal, tribal or Maine law enforcement agencies; providing a product or service specifically requested by the consumer; protecting life and physical safety of consumers; and preventing or responding to security incidents. The Act also does not prohibit a controller from using personal data collected in a lawful manner to effectuate a product recall, identify and repair technical errors and perform internal operations that are reasonably aligned with a consumer's expectations or otherwise compatible with providing the product or service specifically requested by the consumer. Violations of the Act may be enforced exclusively by the Attorney General under the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act. If the violation occurs on or before April 1, 2027, the Attorney General may provide a potential defendant with a notice of violation at least 60 days prior to initiating an enforcement action, during which time the potential defendant may cure the violation to avoid the enforcement action. The Act further requires the Attorney General to submit a report by February 1, 2027 to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over judiciary matters regarding the implementation and operation of the Act. The committee may report out legislation related to the report to the 133rd Legislature in 2027. In Committee
LD1949 An Act Regarding Energy Fairness Part A of the bill requires the Public Utilities Commission to adopt rules prohibiting the disconnection of utility services of a residential customer for nonpayment if the residential customer is enrolled in, has begun the process to enroll in or has been denied enrollment in an assistance program administered by the Public Utilities Commission or another state agency and the customer attests to the utility that the customer or a member of the customer's household is 65 years of age or older, is incapacitated or dependent or has been certified within the last 12 months as having a medical condition or disability by a medical professional or government authority. It also prohibits disconnections if a member of the customer's household has not attained 12 months of age. The commission is required to adopt a process by which a public utility may petition the commission to proceed with a disconnection of a residential customer's service that would otherwise be prohibited. Part A also prohibits a competitive electricity provider from entering into an agreement to provide service to or renew a contract for generation service for a residential consumer that, in the 12-month period prior to entering into the agreement or renewing a contract, has received low-income assistance unless the commission finds that the consumer would receive a lower rate by enrolling in or renewing the contract when compared to the standard-offer service available to that consumer. Part B prohibits certain expenses from being included in a public utility's rates, including fines and penalties, costs associated with travel, lodging and food for officers and members of a public utility's or affiliated interest's board of directors, expenditures for investor relations and certain costs associated with the attendance at, participation in, preparation for or appeal of any contested rate case proceeding conducted before the commission. If a public utility includes any prohibited expenses in rates, it is subject to administrative penalties and the commission may direct the utility to use a portion of the administrative penalties owed for the payment of a rebate to the public utility's customers. In addition to an administrative penalty, the commission is required to order the public utility to issue a refund to the public utility's customers, including interest. Part C requires the commission to adopt rules to require public utilities with over 50,000 customers to file a quarterly docket with the commission containing data from the previous quarter applicable to residential and nonresidential customers. The rules must require that the filing data include information regarding customer overdue accounts, disconnections, reconnections, deposits and payment plans. Part C also requires the commission, within existing resources, to conduct a proceeding at least once every 5 years to review administrative charges collected by a public utility with over 50,000 customers during the preceding 5-year period to ensure that such administrative charges are in compliance with applicable law. Part C also requires that if an investor-owned transmission and distribution utility includes on a customer's bill a public policy charge, the utility must include an accurate and comprehensive description of the costs and benefits of the components of public policy charges, including, but not limited to, energy efficiency programs, renewable energy programs and low-income energy assistance programs. Part D amends the definition of "assisted project" in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 26, section 1304, subsection 1-A to lower the size threshold of a project to which the definition applies. It requires that certain percentages of total labor hours of the construction, alteration or repair of a generation facility are performed by qualified apprentices. Part D also requires the Public Utilities Commission, in executing its duties, powers and regulatory functions under Title 35-A, while ensuring system reliability and resource adequacy, to consider and incorporate environmental justice principles. It requires the commission, on or before April 1, 2026 and within existing resources, to establish a community engagement plan. Crossed Over
LD1970 An Act to Amend the Laws Regarding Consent for HIV Testing and Disclosure of Related Medical Information for Insurance Purposes This bill provides that an HIV test may be undertaken with a patient's general consent. The bill defines "general consent" to mean consent obtained without undue inducement or any element of compulsion, fraud, deceit, duress or any other form of constraint or coercion and that is obtained after providing instruction to a patient that, as part of a medical procedure or test, the patient may receive an HIV test and that receiving an HIV test is voluntary and the patient may choose not to submit to an HIV test. The bill also provides that disclosure of information in a medical record for the purpose of seeking insurance reimbursement for HIV testing is not precluded. The bill removes the requirement that an HIV test may be undertaken only with a patient's informed consent. In Committee
LD1894 Resolve, to Establish the Commission to Study Consumer Grocery Pricing Fairness This bill establishes laws prohibiting large grocery suppliers and retailers from engaging in price discrimination or imposing discriminatory terms of sale and extracting unfair and anticompetitive concessions from wholesalers and suppliers.

LD1261 Resolve, to Establish the Community Navigator Pilot Program to Support At-risk Families This bill establishes a 2-year pilot program in the Department of Health and Human Services to award contracts to 4 child abuse and neglect prevention councils in this State for a community navigator position within each council. The bill requires community navigators to work with families who have been reported to the department for suspected child abuse or neglect but have been determined by the department to not meet the criteria for a child protective services investigation. Community navigators are required to help connect these families with community services as needed. Under the bill, community navigators are required to provide outreach and education to mandated reporters of suspected child abuse or neglect to enhance their knowledge of available community services for families and how to connect families with those services. The educational outreach must also provide mandated reporters with guidelines for working directly with families in need to help shift the role of mandated reporters from just reporting suspected child abuse or neglect to actively supporting families in need. The bill requires the department to provide funding for the community navigators in the amount of $90,000 per position, per year, for both year one and year 2 of the pilot program. The department must determine to which child abuse and neglect councils the contracts are awarded based on which child abuse and neglect prevention councils are most prepared to participate in the pilot program. Passed
LD1444 An Act to Prevent Foreclosures Without Strict Compliance with Notice Requirements This bill requires a mortgagee of property that is occupied by the mortgagor to provide proof of strict compliance with the requirement that a mortgagee provide at least 35 days' notice before bringing a judicial action to foreclose on that property. Failure to provide such proof prevents the mortgagor from prevailing in the foreclosure action or from bringing a foreclosure action against that property in the future; this was the law prior to the decision of the Supreme Judicial Court in Finch v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 2024 Me. 2. The bill applies retroactively to all foreclosure judgments, orders or dismissals entered against a mortgagor. In Committee
LD1502 An Act to Update the Requirements for Health Insurance Coverage of Prostate Cancer Screening Under current law, health insurance coverage must be provided for annual prostate cancer screening, if recommended by a physician, to men 50 years of age or older until attaining 72 years of age. This bill updates the required coverage by doing the following. 1. It expands the scope of the required screening services to include medically necessary follow-up testing as directed by a physician, including, but not limited to, urinary analysis; serum biomarker testing; and medical imaging. It retains the provision in current law that requires coverage of a digital rectal examination and a prostate-specific antigen test and provides that associated laboratory fees for those tests are also covered. 2. It requires the coverage of services for the early detection of prostate cancer, if recommended by a physician, when supported by medical and scientific evidence according to the most recently published nationally recognized clinical practice guideline. 3. It prohibits the use of any deductible, copayment, coinsurance or other cost-sharing requirement for the costs of services for the early detection of prostate cancer. The requirements of the bill apply to health plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026. In Committee
LD1328 An Act to Create Culturally Appropriate and Trauma-informed Housing and Recovery Services This bill requires the Maine State Housing Authority to contract for the operation of at least 3 certified recovery residences that are led and governed by people in recovery from substance use disorder that identify as LGBTQIA+ and provide services to LGBTQIA+ individuals recovering from substance use disorder and other individuals recovering from substance use disorder, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, that meet the criteria established by the Maine State Housing Authority.

Passed
LD1647 An Act to Amend the Maine Human Rights Act to Provide Additional Remedies for Educational Discrimination This bill modifies provisions of the Maine Human Rights Act to allow a court to award compensatory damages in cases of intentional educational discrimination. Compensatory damages include damages for loss of education, loss of educational opportunity, past and future pecuniary losses, emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and other nonpecuniary losses. The bill specifies that these compensatory damages are not available in cases when the discriminatory practice involves the provision of a reasonable accommodation and the educational institution had demonstrated good faith efforts, in consultation with the person with the disability, to make a reasonable accommodation that would provide that individual with an equally effective opportunity and would not cause undue hardship on the operation of the educational institution. Compensatory damages are not available in cases in which the practice was unlawful only because of its disparate impact. The bill also adds language that excludes cases of intentional educational discrimination from the existing limited monetary remedy available for unlawful discrimination under the Maine Human Rights Act. In Committee
LD1658 An Act to Preserve and Strengthen the Fund for a Healthy Maine This bill, beginning January 5, 2026, increases the cigarette excise tax rate by 50 mills, changing the rate per pack of 20 cigarettes from $2 to $3, and the rate per cigarette from 10¢ to 15¢. Under current law, when the cigarette tax increases, the tax on tobacco products also increases by an equivalent amount. The bill includes in the excise tax on tobacco products that equivalent increase and specifies that the definition of "tobacco products" includes products with synthetic nicotine. The bill also, beginning in fiscal year 2027-28, requires the State Tax Assessor and the State Controller to annually determine the amount of revenue from the taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products that is needed to ensure the Fund for a Healthy Maine receives at least $65,000,000 annually from all sources of revenue, including from the so-called tobacco settlement and from certain slot machine income. In Committee
