An Act To Clarify The Prohibition On Paper Billing Statement Fees

LD 2061 clarifies Maine's law prohibiting fees for customers who opt out of paper billing statements. It directly affects customers receiving billing statements (like from banks or utilities) and the businesses providing them. The bill explicitly allows businesses to charge a reasonable, disclosed, and customer-approved fee for special requests - such as replacement statements, custom date ranges, or statements for financial/legal purposes - but prohibits fees for simply choosing electronic delivery. This update ensures transparency for customers while clarifying existing law under Public Law 2025, chapter 35.
