ME LD536

Internet service providers in Maine must provide net neutral broadband service, prohibiting practices like paid prioritization and throttling

Violations constitute unfair trade practices under the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act, though private lawsuits are not permitted

Reasonable network management practices are allowed if they have technical justification and are implemented on a nondiscriminatory basis

ISPs may still offer varied service plans with different speeds, data limits, income-based eligibility, and promotional pricing as long as they remain nondiscriminatory and net neutral

Law does not restrict ISP efforts to address copyright infringement, unlawful activity, or emergency/law enforcement communications
