Regulatory Summary
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and related FCC regulations shield consumers from unwanted telemarketing. The TCPA defines telemarketing as the initiation of a telephone call or fax for the purpose of encouraging the purchase or investment in property, goods or services, which is transmitted to any prospective customer at a residence. The TCPA governs cold calls, prerecorded sales calls, and the use of autodialers, fax machines and other telemarketing strategies.
The TCPA mandates that telemarketers:
- Maintain a Do Not Call Policy
- Promptly provide a copy of the Policy to requesting consumers
- Only make calls between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. (local time of the person being called)
- Identify the caller name, company name and caller location
- Maintain and comply with a company “do not call” list derived from the federal “do not call” registry
- Honor a consumer’s request made during a call to place the consumer’s name on the “do not call” list
- Transmit caller ID information
- Not abandon outbound calls
