Pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article IV, Part Third, Section 16, the general effective date for nonemergency laws passed in the First Regular Session of the 125th Legislature is Wednesday, September 28, 2011. We celebrate our changes to our lien law SP0442, LD 1428, item 1, 125th Maine State Legislature An Act to Amend the Laws Governing Self-service Storage in the State. We have much to be excited about-we have made changes to our law that enable us to do business in a way that is less cumbersome, will save us money, and will make it easier to comply. Many other states are seeking some of the same changes that we have made and most are having success. Our success is huge considering  we have made far more changes than any other state has sought. SSA attorney, Scott Zucker, commented that our new law is “the storage operator’s dream”. MeSSA will be offering a new lease template and operational guideline incorporating these changes and the changes from the previous legislative session regarding third party personal documents in storage. This template/guideline has been drawn up by attorney Scott Zucker. It will be FREE to MeSSA members and will be available to non-members for a fee.
