| 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. |
