Maine changes paper statement fee rules
The law repeals one part of Maine's paper statement fee law: 10 MRSA §9420(2). The supplied text does not explain what that part required, so the repeal's effect on consumer fees is unclear. The Governor approved the law on April 22, 2025; the supplied text gives no effective date.
