LR 13
Item 1

 
SUMMARY

 
This bill restricts unsolicited commercial e-mail, defined
as e-mail that is sent for the purpose of advertising or
conveying information about real property, goods or services
or extending credit or soliciting contributions, by requiring
the e-mail to contain a valid return e-mail address maintained
by the sender to which the recipient may respond indicating
that the recipient does not wish to receive further
unsolicited commercial e-mail from the sender. The
restriction does not apply to e-mail sent to persons with whom
the sender has a prior relationship or who have requested the
information from the sender. Unsolicited commercial e-mail
would need to include in the subject line a label, as
specified, so that recipients are made aware of the nature of
the e-mail. Each unsolicited commercial e-mail sent to a
recipient in violation is considered an unfair trade practice.
