Similarly, they would be required to monitor telemarketers they assist. Finally, the settlements contain various reporting provi- sions that would assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants' compliance. The Commission vote to accept the settlements for filing in court was 5-0. They were filed on May 23 in U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, in Las Vegas, and require the court's approval to become binding. These agreements are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute admissions by the defendants of law violations.
Settlements have the force of law when signed by a judge.
