As promised last year, the Maine legislative session opened this week with the introduction of a new predatory marketing bill--LD 1677. This bill would repeal the beleaguered LD 1883, which was signed to law last year, but faced major opposition from industry groups, leading Maine's attorney general to promise not to enforce the law. The new bill applies to online information only and is limited to pharmaceutical marketing. It gives the attorney general the power to adopt rules to determine its scope. Violation of the law would be considered an unfair trade practice.
