An Act Regarding Services Designed To Reduce the Number of So-called
Robocalls and Automatically Dialed Telephone Calls
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 35-A MRSA §7105-A is enacted to read:
§7105-A. Automated telephone call reduction services
Beginning January 1, 2022, a telephone utility that offers any service to subscribers in
the State designed to reduce the number of calls received by a subscriber that are made
using an automated telephone calling device or an artificial or prerecorded voice shall
inform each subscriber as to the nature and cost of any such service offered and describe
how the subscriber may elect to enroll in or take advantage of such service. Such
information must be provided to a subscriber at the time the subscriber initiates service
with the telephone utility and must be available on the telephone utility's website. A
telephone utility shall offer any such service at a reasonably affordable cost to all
subscribers in the State.
For the purposes of this section, "automated telephone calling device" has the same
meaning as in Title 10, section 1498, subsection 1, paragraph A.
