The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1992 is abbreviated to TCPA. Telemarketing is not permitted for specific texts, calls, or facsimiles. The law also restricts the use of prerecorded or fake voice messages as well as automated dialing systems. The law also regulates the collection of information of phone calls. If TCPA is violated, consumers may file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Consumers who have been subjected to violation of TCPA law can also bring lawsuits. The FCC approved rules in 1992 to enforce the law. They included the obligation that telephone marketers maintain do-not-call lists. The FCC collaborated with the Federal Trade Commission in 2003 to establish a national Do Not Call Registry. Non-profit organizations are not included in the registry. The FCC changed its rules regarding TCPA in the year 2012. In particular it mandated that businesses get written consent from customers to make robocalls to their mobile phones or calls made using recorded voice messages and also to offer automated opt-outs for such calls.
