Chamber Coalition Urges Veto of LD 61

A broad coalition of Maine’s leading business associations and employers submitted a joint letter to Governor Janet Mills, urging her to veto LD 61, “An Act to Regulate Employer Surveillance to Protect Workers.” While the business community supports efforts to protect employee privacy, this legislation would significantly restrict standard operational practices across a wide range of industries.

​In the letter, signatories raise serious concerns about how the bill would interfere with an employer’s ability to manage operations, conduct investigations, and maintain compliance with both internal policies and state law. The coalition also flags the potential for confusion and risk introduced by the bill’s prescriptive requirements, including real-time surveillance notifications and restrictions on remote work monitoring.
