2001 House Bill 4042 ↩

Senate Roll Call 632: Passed

To require individual telemarketers to keep and honor their own “do not call” lists, rather than establishing a single statewide list. The bill requires telemarketers to immediately identify themselves, the entity for whom they are calling, and that entity’s telephone number. It also requires telephone companies and phonebook publishers to print instructions on bills and directories telling customers how to get their names on a telemarketer's “do not call” list. Finally the bill exempts from its provisions nonprofit and charitable organizations, and right-of-rescission and purchase-confirmation calls made pursuant to state and federal law. The bill is part of a legislative package comprised of HB 4042, HB 4154, HB 4250, HB 4631, and HB 4632.
