Maine House Passes Strong Privacy Bill

EPIC writes:

A strong comprehensive privacy bill passed the Maine House of Representatives today. The bill, LD 1822, closely mirrors the privacy law Maryland passed in 2024 and would extend essential privacy protections to Mainers.

The bill includes strong data minimization requirements, enhanced protections for sensitive data, and civil rights protections prohibiting data-driven discrimination.

EPIC has testified in support of LD 1822, explaining how most existing state privacy laws fall short and the ways in which this bill protects Mainers’ privacy and encourages privacy-protective business practices.

EPIC strongly supports LD 1822 and urges the Senate to pass this important legislation.
