SB 10 - This act would prohibit persons from sending unsolicited commercial electronic mail to persons on a list maintained by the Attorney General. The list would be maintained in the same manner as the current telephone "No-Call" list.

The Attorney General is charged with the duty of creating a database whereby citizens who object to receiving unsolicited electronic mail can register. Persons who initiate electronic transmissions soliciting purchase of, rental of, or investment in property, goods or services must clearly state their identity at the beginning of the message. The Attorney General may prosecute violations. Persons may be liable for civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation as well as sanctions for unlawful merchandising practices.
