Description
Automatic dialing-announcing devices; penalty. Prohibits callers from using an automatic dialing-announcing device to make a commercial telephone solicitation unless the subscriber has requested, consented to, permitted, or authorized receipt of the message or unless the message is preceded by a live operator who obtains the subscriber's consent before the message is delivered. The measure also requires automatic dialing-announcing devices or other devices that disseminate a prerecorded or synthesized voice message to the number called to disconnect within five seconds after termination of the telephone call. An automatic dialing-announcing device selects and dials telephone numbers and disseminates a prerecorded or synthesized voice message to the telephone number called. A violation of these requirements is a prohibited practice under the Consumer Protection Act. The existing prohibition on using recorded solicitation calls is repealed. Read the Bill »
