| 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. |
