An Act To Regulate Employer Surveillance To Protect Workers

Maine's LD 61 requires employers to notify employees before monitoring them using electronic devices (like computers or phones), with specific exceptions for security cameras and vehicle GPS tracking. It prohibits employers from using audiovisual monitoring in employees' homes, personal vehicles, or on their property, and allows workers to refuse installing monitoring apps on their personal devices. Employers must also disclose surveillance practices during job interviews. The law creates a private right for workers to seek legal remedies if violated and directs the Department of Labor to create implementing rules.
