Maine AI chatbot disclosure law (LD 1727)
1 duty · checked November 12, 2026
L.D. 1727 (H.P. 1154), Public Law 2025, chapter 294; enacted as 10 M.R.S. § 1500-Y (chapter 239), now 10 M.R.S. § 1500-DD (chapter 241). Official text · Full law page
Who it covers
- Person. A person that uses an artificial intelligence chatbot or any other computer technology to engage in trade and commerce with a consumer. 10 M.R.S. § 1500-DD(2)
Enforcement
- Enforcer: Not named in the section. A violation is a violation of the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act, under which the Attorney General may sue for injunctions and restitution, generally after 10 days' notice of the intended action.
- Penalty: Up to $10,000 per violation, civil penalty in an Attorney General action for an intentional unfair or deceptive violation, or for violating an injunction, under the Unfair Trade Practices Act. The chatbot section itself states no amount. 5 M.R.S. § 209; 10 M.R.S. § 1500-DD(3)
- Penalty: Actual damages, restitution, equitable relief, and attorney's fees and costs, private remedies under the Unfair Trade Practices Act for a person who buys or leases for personal, family or household purposes and loses money or property. 5 M.R.S. § 213(1), (2); 10 M.R.S. § 1500-DD(3)
- Can people sue? Yes 10 M.R.S. § 1500-DD(3) (a violation is an Unfair Trade Practices Act violation); 5 M.R.S. § 213(1), (1-A) (private action for buyers or lessees who lose money or property, after a 30-day written demand)
- Time to fix before enforcement: The law does not say
What the text leaves open
- The chatbot section does not itself mention private lawsuits. The yes answer rests on its statement that a violation is an Unfair Trade Practices Act violation, together with that Act's private remedy in 5 M.R.S. § 213.
- Consumer is not defined in the section, and the definition of trade and commerce in 5 M.R.S. § 206(3) was not opened.
- The section states no effective date. September 24, 2025 is the general effective date for nonemergency laws of the First Special Session, read from the Laws of Maine title page.
- The 10-day Attorney General notice and the 30-day private demand letter are pre-suit steps under the Unfair Trade Practices Act; neither is described as a right to cure.
Maine AI in therapy and psychotherapy services law (LD 2082)
6 duties · checked November 12, 2026
Public Law 2025, chapter 687 (L.D. 2082, H.P. 1397, 132nd Legislature), approved April 13, 2026; enacts 10 MRSA §1500-EE and 32 MRSA §2113, §2600-G, §3300-J, §3820-A, §6207-D, §7009 and §13870. Official text · Full law page
Who it covers
- Person. Any person that provides, advertises or otherwise offers therapy or psychotherapy services to the public, including through Internet-based artificial intelligence. 10 MRSA §1500-EE(2) (PL 2025, c. 687, §1)
- Licensee. A person licensed (in three sections, licensed or privileged) under one of the seven Title 32 chapters that received a new section, who uses AI for administrative or supplementary support in therapy or psychotherapy services. 32 MRSA §2113, §2600-G, §3300-J, §3820-A, §6207-D, §7009, §13870, each at sub-§2 (PL 2025, c. 687, §§2-8)
Enforcement
- Enforcer: Two tracks. A violation of the public-offering ban is a violation of the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act, under which the Attorney General may sue (generally after 10 days' notice) and buyers have private remedies. Violations by licensees are subject to disciplinary action by their licensing board under 10 MRSA §8003(5). A client's waiver of the licensing sections is void. No court order blocking the law was looked for in this review.
- Penalty: Up to $10,000 per violation, an intentional violation of the Unfair Trade Practices Act that is unfair or deceptive, in an action by the Attorney General. This reaches the public-offering ban because a violation of it is a violation of that Act. 5 MRSA §209; 10 MRSA §1500-EE(3)
- Penalty: Up to $10,000 per violation, violating an injunction issued under the Unfair Trade Practices Act. 5 MRSA §209
- Can people sue? Yes 10 MRSA §1500-EE(3) with 5 MRSA §213(1), (1-A), (2): buyers for personal, family or household use who lose money or property may sue, after a written demand at least 30 days before a damages suit. The licensing sections create no new action but preserve existing ones (sub-§12).
- Time to fix before enforcement: The law does not say
Exemptions
- An AI-based intervention used solely within a research project approved by an institutional review board, as defined in 22 MRSA §1711-C(6)(G), and conducted in compliance with federal protections for human research subjects. 10 MRSA §1500-EE(4); 32 MRSA §2113, §2600-G, §3300-J, §3820-A, §6207-D, §7009, §13870, each at sub-§9 (PL 2025, c. 687, §§2-8)
What the text leaves open
- Sub-§3 reads as allowing AI for supplementary support only when the session is recorded or transcribed, which differs from the Illinois model it resembles; boards' rules may clarify it.
- Which professions each of the seven Title 32 sections covers was confirmed only for §6207-D (chapter 81, alcohol and drug counselors); the chaptered law refers to this chapter without naming it.
- Board discipline amounts under 10 MRSA §8003(5) were not read.
- The 10-day Attorney General notice and the 30-day private demand under the Unfair Trade Practices Act are pre-suit steps; the text does not call either a cure period.
- The July 29, 2026 effective date comes from a Maine Revenue Services summary of the session, not from the chaptered law, which states no date; the Legislature's own session-law page could not be opened.
- Whether any lawsuit challenges the law was not checked.

Public Law 2025, chapter 593 (LD 517, HP 335), signed March 23, 2026; amends 21-A M.R.S. § 1014, subsections 3, 3-B and 4, and enacts subsection 5-C. Official text · Full law page
Who it covers
- Person financing a public communication.

Enforcement
- Enforcer: Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices (the commission) assesses civil penalties; if a violator does not stop after notice, the commission refers the matter to the Attorney General, who may seek an injunction in Kennebec County Superior Court. A web search on November 15, 2026 found no report of a lawsuit against this law; court dockets were not searched.

- Edits that only improve clarity, add captions or highlight a section without a materially different impression; satire or parody. 21-A M.R.S. § 1014(5-C)(B)

What the text leaves open
- The 10-day correction rule in § 1014(4) expressly does not apply to subsection 5-C violations, so cure_period is recorded as none.
- The commission's rules on the disclosure's size and placement were not looked for in this run.
- The act does not cover online platforms other than newspaper websites.

What the text leaves open
- The chaptered PDF lacked strike-through and underlining, so the change to the definition of minor in § 281(2) could not be confirmed; it is not relied on here.
Other enacted laws to check
These 2 enacted AI laws are in the states you chose, but they are not yet mapped duty by duty, so they are not in the plan above. Each page has a summary and the official source.
- Maine LD109: Resolve, Directing the Maine Arts Commission to Study Federal and National Efforts to Protect Artists from… (effective July 29, 2026)
- Maine LD1585: An Act To Increase Privacy and Security by Regulating the Use of Facial Surveillance Systems by Departments… (effective October 1, 2021)
How the plan is built
Each law in the plan was read from its official text, on the legislature’s or state’s own website. 265 of the 326 have also been read a second time to confirm every date, threshold, penalty and enforcer; the rest have had one full read, and each shows the date it was last checked. Each duty is written in plain English in 30 words or fewer and carries the section it comes from, with a link.
Where a law is silent, the plan says so. It does not borrow a penalty from another statute or guess at a deadline. A law that is repealed or replaced on a known date shows that end date, and its duties leave the plan once the date passes. The date each law was last checked appears with it.
The plan is built fresh from these records every time the page loads, so it changes as soon as a law is added or re-checked. To report an error, use the corrections page. For how we find laws and decide what counts as an AI law, see our methodology. If you are not sure which laws touch your business at all, start with Am I Affected?
Common questions
What does an AI compliance plan cover?
Each duty an enacted state AI law places on a business or other regulated party: who it applies to, what it requires, when it starts, how often it recurs, who enforces it, the penalties and whether people can sue. The builder covers 1,235 duties in 326 enacted laws across 50 states, and every duty links to the section of law it comes from.
Where does the information come from?
From the official text of each law: the enrolled bill, session law or codified statute, opened on the legislature's or state's own website. 265 of the 326 laws have also been read a second time to confirm every date, threshold, penalty and enforcer, and the date each law was last checked is shown with it. Where a law is silent on a point, such as a penalty amount, the plan says the law does not say rather than filling the gap. Law firm summaries and news reports are never used as sources.
Does the plan include every AI law in a state?
Not yet. It includes the enacted laws we have mapped duty by duty. When you choose a state, its other enacted AI laws are listed separately with links, so nothing is left out of view. New laws are added as they are read. When a law is repealed or replaced on a set date, its duties show that end date and leave the plan once it passes.
How do I know which duties apply to my company?
Start with the 'who it covers' entry for each law: many apply only above a size or revenue threshold, only to developers or only to deployers, or only in one industry. The plan quotes those conditions from the text. Whether your company meets them depends on facts only you and your counsel know.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is information drawn from official legal texts, organized so you can see what each law requires. Use it to brief your team and your lawyers, not in place of them.
What does Pro add?
The same plan as a CSV file for spreadsheets and audit files, and as a calendar file (.ics) with every dated duty as an event that links back to the law. Both are built from the states and uses you pick. The plan on this page, and printing it, are open to everyone.
