| This bill removes telemarketers from the provisions of Maine's |
| consumer solicitation sales laws that require the contents of any |
| telemarketer's contract be in writing, that the consumer have a |
| right of avoidance and that the telemarketer comply with |
| transient sellers requirements. This bill allows the current |
| federal law concerning telemarketers to control. The bill leaves |
| intact current state law prohibiting automated telephone |
| solicitation and the establishment of a "do not call" rule. |
