| LD1224 | An Act to Comprehensively Protect Consumer Privacy | This bill enacts the Maine Consumer Privacy Act, which takes effect July 1, 2026. The Act regulates the collection, use, processing, disclosure, sale and deletion of nonpublicly available personal data that is linked or reasonably linkable to an individual who is a resident of the State, referred to in the Act as a "consumer," 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." Under the Act, a controller must limit the collection of personal data to what is adequate, relevant and reasonably necessary in relation to the purposes for which the controller processes that data, as disclosed in a privacy notice specifying 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. A consumer has the right, under the Act, to confirm whether a controller is processing the consumer's personal data; to require the controller to correct inaccuracies in or delete the consumer's personal data; to obtain a copy of the consumer's personal data; and to opt out of the processing of the consumer's personal data for purposes of targeted advertising, sale or profiling in furtherance of decisions about the consumer's access to financial or lending services, housing, insurance, education, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health care services and essential goods and services. The privacy notice must describe how a consumer may exercise these rights. The controller must obtain the affirmative, informed consent of a consumer before processing the consumer's sensitive data, including data revealing the consumer's race or ethnic origins, religious beliefs, medical history or mental or physical health conditions or diagnoses, sexual orientation or citizenship or immigration status; genetic or biometric data used to uniquely identify an individual; precise geolocation data; data of a known child who has not attained 13 years of age; or data concerning the consumer's status as the victim of a crime. If the controller knows that the consumer has not attained 13 years of age, the controller may not process the consumer's data for any purpose without parental consent. If the controller knows or willfully disregards that the consumer is at least 13 years of age but has not attained 16 years of age, the controller may not process the consumer's data for targeted advertising and must obtain the consumer's consent before processing the consumer's data for sale. The Act prohibits a controller from processing data in a manner that discriminates against a person in violation of state or federal law. A controller is also prohibited from retaliating against a consumer for exercising the 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. A controller must establish, implement and maintain reasonable data security practices. Beginning July 1, 2026, 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 to identify and weigh 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 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; financial institutions or their affiliates subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that are directly and solely engaged in financial activities; state-licensed and authorized insurers that are in compliance with applicable Maine laws governing insurer data security and data privacy; and persons that both processed the personal data of fewer than 25,000 consumers in the preceding calendar year and derived no more than 25% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data. The Act also does not apply to persons that controlled or processed the personal data for purposes other than completing payment transactions of fewer than 100,000 consumers in the preceding calendar year, except that, beginning January 1, 2028, this exception applies only to persons that controlled or processed the personal data for purposes other than completing payment transactions of fewer than 50,000 consumers in the preceding calendar year. In addition, the provisions of the Act do not apply to specifically enumerated types of data, including: nonpublic personal information regulated under the federal Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act; health care information protected under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, section 1711-C; 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 Maine Consumer Privacy Act also does not prohibit controllers from engaging in specifically enumerated activities, including complying with state or federal law; complying with investigations or subpoenas from governmental authorities including the Federal Government and the government of a state or a federally recognized Indian tribe in the State; cooperating with federal, state or tribal 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; and conducting internal product research, effectuating a product recall or performing other internal operations aligned with the expectations of a consumer. Violations of the Act may be enforced exclusively by the Attorney General under the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act. Absent a showing of immediate irreparable harm, the Attorney General is required to provide a potential defendant with at least 30 days' notice prior to initiating an enforcement action, during which time the potential defendant may cure any violation alleged in the notice. Any civil penalties, attorney's fees or costs awarded to the State for a violation of the Act must be deposited in the Maine Privacy Fund, which is established to provide funding for the enforcement staff and activities of the Department of the Attorney General. 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 operation and implementation of the Act. The committee may report out legislation related to the report to the 133rd Legislature in 2027. | Dead |

| LD1138 | An Act to Reduce Pollution Associated with Transportation in Alignment with the State's Climate Action Plan | This bill implements the following provisions designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. 1. It amends the law regulating state monitoring of, reporting on and compliance with the requirements for gross and net annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions levels to require the Department of Transportation to adopt rules necessary to ensure compliance with those reductions levels. Under current law, the Department of Transportation is authorized but not required to adopt such rules. 2. It requires the Department of Environmental Protection, by December 31, 2025, to adopt rules establishing greenhouse gas emissions limits specific to different source categories within the transportation sector that are designed to be achieved through biennial targets imposed over a 10-year period and to ensure compliance with established gross and net annual greenhouse gas emissions levels and with the transportation-specific greenhouse gas emissions reductions projections established in the climate action plan under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 38, section 577, subsection 5-A. The Department of Transportation is required to adopt rules necessary to ensure compliance with those greenhouse gas emissions limits established by the Department of Environmental Protection by rule. 3. It requires the Department of Transportation to develop and, by July 1, 2026, publish a plan that, at a minimum, sets forth strategies for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector necessary to achieve the greenhouse gas emissions reductions and limits under Title 38, section 576-A and strategies for reduction of statewide vehicle miles traveled in accordance with the targets identified in the climate action plan. 4. It provides that, beginning July 1, 2026, prior to inclusion of a capacity expansion project in a Department of Transportation or Maine Turnpike Authority transportation improvement program, work plan or long-range transportation plan, the department or the authority, as applicable, must complete an impact assessment of the project. The bill defines "capacity expansion project" as a transportation project that results in modifications or other changes to a transportation facility and that is designed to improve vehicle travel time or increase maximum throughput. The impact assessment process is to be used by the department or the authority to determine whether a capacity expansion project is consistent with the transportation greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan under Title 23, section 4209-C, the transportation-related targets in the climate action plan and the transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions limits. The impact assessment must, at a minimum, include projections for greenhouse gas emissions associated with the capacity expansion project over a 20-year period, net change in vehicle miles traveled for the affected transportation network as a result of the capacity expansion project and the direct impacts and induced demand impacts of the capacity expansion project on vehicle miles traveled for the affected transportation network as a result of the project. If, through the impact assessment, the department or the authority determines that the project is not consistent with the plan, targets and limits, the department or the authority must alter the scope or design of the project to ensure greater consistency with the plan, target or limits, incorporate sufficient mitigation measures into the project or halt project development. The bill describes the types of mitigation measures that may be incorporated into a capacity expansion project and sets forth the criteria for determining whether such mitigation measures will be considered sufficient to allow the project to proceed. 5. It establishes the Transportation Climate Technical Committee to assist in the development and review of the transportation greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan to assist the Department of Transportation and the Maine Turnpike Authority in the implementation of the requirements and processes for evaluating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with capacity expansion projects under Title 23, section 710, and to otherwise advise the Department of Transportation, the Maine Turnpike Authority and the Legislature regarding achievement of the transportation sector targets identified in the transportation greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan, the climate action plan and the greenhouse gas emissions reductions levels and limits. | Dead |

| LD1712 | An Act to Amend the Paid Family and Medical Leave Benefits Program to Balance Support of Businesses and Employees | This bill makes the following changes to the paid family and medical leave benefits program. 1. It provides examples of what type of conditions constitute undue hardship for an employer and allows an employer to determine other conditions, based on that employer's specific business, that constitute undue hardship. It also provides that the decision of an employer to deny the use of leave based on undue hardship is not reviewable by the Department of Labor. 2. It requires an employer to deduct from an employee's wages 50% of the payroll premium, instead of allowing an employer to choose to deduct up to 50% of the payroll premium, but allows an employer to pay any amount of the employee's share of the payroll premium. It specifies that the existence of a collective bargaining agreement does not prevent an employer from deducting an employee's share of the premium imposed to finance the payment of benefits under the program nor does it require the employer to bargain before making that deduction. 3. It extends to all employers subject to a collective bargaining agreement the exemption for public employers or employees of a public employer subject to a collective bargaining agreement from participating in the program until the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement in effect on October 25, 2023. 4. It establishes a benefit amount, regardless of income, of 65% of an employee's average weekly wage. 5. It requires an employee to file an application for family leave benefits no more than 15 days after the start of family leave and to file an application for medical leave benefits no more than 30 days after the start of the medical leave. 6. It changes the fine imposed for failure or refusal by an employer to make premium contributions to a maximum of $50 per employee. The fine is waivable by the department if the department determines it is in the interest of equity and good conscience. It requires the department to notify an employer and allows an employer to appeal the decision. It allows an employer who is found to have failed or refused to make premium contributions to retroactively deduct from an employee's wages that employee's share of the premium. Finally, it stays the imposition of any fines until January 1, 2026 unless the employer willfully fails or refuses to make the premium contributions. 7. It provides that benefits paid from the program are subject to state income tax to the extent those benefits are not included in the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. It also provides that a taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income may be reduced by the amount subject to repayment that has been previously taxed by the State. It also allows individuals filing a new claim for family leave benefits or medical leave benefits to elect to have the administrator of the program deduct and withhold state income tax from the individual's payment of benefits at the rate of 5% and requires the administrator of the program to deduct and withhold state income tax. It also requires the department to advise individuals filing a new claim for benefits that the benefits are subject to state income tax. | Dead |

The bill provides that such a municipality is exempt from these provisions until a licensed geologist has analyzed the groundwater and septic capacity within the municipality or a particular area within the municipality and determined that it can support an increase in housing density. If the licensed geologist determines in the geologist's evaluation report that the area can support an increase in housing, the municipality is required to comply with the provisions of Title 30-A, sections 4364 to 4364-C, to the extent that the licensed geologist determines the area can support the increase. If the geologist's evaluation report indicates the area cannot support an increase in housing density, the municipality is exempt from Title 30-A, sections 4364 to 4364-C. The Department of Economic and Community Development and the Department of Environmental Protection are directed to adopt rules to implement this legislation.
