About

Rep. Andrea Boland is serving her third term in the House of
Representatives. She serves as the House Democratic Lead on the
Joint Standing Committee on State and Local Government and is

A nationally recognized leader for safe wireless and safe cell
phone use and application, Rep. Boland introduced the first legislation
in the world requiring warning labels for cell phones, and was
instrumental in the new law directing the Maine Public Utilities
Commission to examine current cyber security and privacy requirements
in law relating to smart meters -- the first legislation in Maine
to address consumer concerns about smart meters.
The new smart meter law also requires the PUC to monitor federal
efforts regarding cyber security and privacy issues regarding
smart meters and to report to the Maine Joint Standing Committee
on Energy, Utilities and Technology by January 15, 2012, and
provides that the committee may submit a bill relating to smart
meter cyber security and privacy during the next session of the
125th Legislature in January.

In 1978 Rep. Boland moved to Maine and currently resides in Sanford.
