LEGISLATIVE ACTION
The Legislature concurs with the Executive recommendation.
Article VII
The Legislature approves legislation proposed by the Executive that would
increase the penalties for violations of the Do Not Call Registry from
$2000 to $5000.
The Legislature denies Article VII provisions that would:
-- clarify that businesses that contract for the use of or benefit
from telemarketing services are responsible for ensuring that the
telemarketer which is serving as their agent is complying with the Do
Not Call Registry statute;
-- eliminate the two-year experience requirement for prospective contractors
who may bid on the contract to maintain the Do Not Call Registry;
-- exempt from provisions of the Do Not Call Registry statute,
transactions involving sales over $25,000 which would require a face to
face meeting to complete; and
-- change the structure of the Do Not Call Registry to include only the
registrant's telephone number.
