| 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 |
| LD1582 | An Act to Clarify the Prohibition on the Sale of Beverages in Plastic Containers | Current law prohibits the sale of a beverage to a consumer in a container composed of one or more plastics if the basic structure of the container, exclusive of the closure device, also includes aluminum or steel. This bill enacts a definition of "closure device." | In Committee |
| 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 |

| 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. | In Committee |

The bill authorizes the Secretary of State to receive local ballots from municipalities holding such elections and to issue those ballots to uniformed service voters and overseas voters who are eligible to receive them. It also authorizes the Secretary of State to receive absentee ballots for such municipal elections from a uniformed service voter or an overseas voter at a central location and to deliver those local ballots to the uniformed service voters' or overseas voters' municipalities by the close of the polls on election day. | Passed |

| LD340 | An Act Regarding Speedy Trials | This bill establishes the Maine Speedy Trial Act. The Act establishes different time limits for the commencement of a defendant's criminal trial depending on when the complaint, indictment or information was filed and what class of crime the defendant is charged with. The Act also provides a time limit for the commencement of a new trial following a mistrial or order for a new trial. A defendant may waive the right to a speedy trial under the Act after the defendant has been advised of the defendant's rights with respect to the Act by the court. The Act also establishes several reasons for delay, which are excluded in computing the time limits for the commencement of trial; factors the court may consider when granting a motion to enlarge the maximum time period before commencement of trial; and remedies available to the defendant when the time limits established by the Act are not complied with. 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 |

| LD411 | An Act to Amend the Law Governing the Disposition of Forfeited Firearms | This bill amends the law governing the disposition of firearms that have been forfeited to the State as a mandatory part of a criminal sentence under the general sentencing provisions of the Maine Criminal Code. Current law requires that forfeited firearms used in commission of a murder or unlawful homicide crime be destroyed by the State. The bill extends the requirement to all firearms that have been forfeited as mandated by the general sentencing provisions of the Maine Criminal Code. The bill also eliminates one of the exceptions to mandatory forfeiture applying to cases in which the firearm subject to forfeiture is rightfully owned by another person. The bill amends the provision of law governing forfeiture of firearms within the Maine Juvenile Code to align with the general sentencing provisions as amended by this bill. The bill amends the relevant asset forfeiture laws to align with the narrowed exception for 3rd-party claims to firearms subject to forfeiture as provided by this bill. Finally, the bill directs the Attorney General to update rules governing the disposition of forfeited firearms under state law. | In Committee |

The bill authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to enforce these provisions and to develop standardized public health warning signs and brochures. | In Committee |
| LD1261 | An Act to Support At-risk Families by Establishing the Community Navigator Pilot Program | 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. | In Committee |

The bill also directs the committee to include in the committee's recommendations the use of the department's online, open-source education platform that provides optional resources at no cost to educators in the State on topic areas and themes identified as areas of need by educators. | In Committee |
| LD1898 | An Act to Correct Outdated References Regarding the Maine Human Rights Act | This bill modifies provisions of the Maine Human Rights Act to correct references to protection orders that were sought or received under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 19-A, former section 4007, which was repealed effective January 1, 2023. The bill clarifies that it remains unlawful to discriminate against an individual on the basis of that individual's previous actions seeking or receiving an order of protection under the former law and that it is unlawful to discriminate against an individual on the basis of that individual's previous actions seeking or receiving a final protection order under the current law or under a substantially similar provision of the law of another state or nation. | In Committee |
| 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 |
| LD1687 | An Act to Clarify and Increase Access to HIV Prevention Medications | This bill clarifies, with respect to insurance coverage for HIV prevention medication, that each long-acting injectable drug with a different duration constitutes a separate method of administration.

The bill also provides reimbursement under the MaineCare program to pharmacists for prescribing, dispensing and administering HIV prevention drugs. | In Committee |

The bill reduces the appeals period from 30 to 15 days after the determination is made. The bill also provides for interest on unreimbursed amounts to be paid by the offending municipality and a penalty of up to $10,000 for a repeat violation within a 12-month period and creates the rebuttable presumption that if a municipality moves a person to another municipality, the municipality did so to avoid paying general assistance to that person. | Dead |
| LD537 | An Act to Prohibit the Doxing of a Minor and to Authorize a Related Civil Action | This bill prohibits a person from engaging in conduct that constitutes doxing when the target of the doxing is a minor. It also authorizes a family member, legal guardian or representative of a minor who is a target of doxing in violation of that prohibition to bring a civil action on behalf of the minor for injunctive relief, actual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, any combination of those remedies or any other appropriate relief. Under the bill, doxing is defined as the knowing disclosure of personal identifying information of a person, without that person's consent, and when that disclosure is intended to cause, and in fact either directly or indirectly causes: 1. A course of conduct directed at or concerning that person that constitutes stalking pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 17-A, section 210-A; 2. Physical harm to that person; 3. Serious damage to the property of that person; or 4. That person to reasonably fear for that person's own physical safety or to reasonably fear for the physical safety of a close relation of that person.
