This bill amends the provisions of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A that protect consumers from the unauthorized initiation of service by a local or intrastate interexchange carrier. The bill revises the reference to Title 32, section 4690-A to reflect a change to that section enacted by Public Law 2001, chapter 324; allows electronic authorization of service initiation, to be consistent with federal rules; requires carriers to retain records for 24 months, to be consistent with federal rules; removes a requirement of interexchange carriers that refers to a function that interexchange carriers do not carry out; and removes reference to a federal rule that was repealed in 1999.
