David HB1430 Enacts the consumer telephone privacy act, to be enforced by the Attorney General. This bill requires the Attorney General to establish and maintain a statewide database of telephone numbers of consumers who object to receiving telephone solicitations. It is an unlawful merchandising practice to make telephone solicitations to consumers included in the database and to make telephone solicitations without first accessing the then current database.
Current law makes unlawful merchandising practices a class D felony.
The bill creates the Telemarketing Database Fund in the state treasury to be used to defray the cost associated with creating and maintaining the database and enforcement of the bill's provisions.
