An Act To Prohibit Persons From Providing Incentives To Customers For Opting Out Of Paper Billing

LD 1180 prohibits businesses from charging fees or imposing penalties on customers who choose to receive bills electronically instead of in paper form. It allows businesses to offer incentives (such as discounts) to encourage customers to switch to electronic billing. The bill directly affects companies that send regular bills (like utilities or banks) and amends Maine law to clarify these rules. The Attorney General must create simple, routine rules to implement the policy. This changes how billing options are presented but does not require businesses to offer electronic billing.
