HB 157 -- Telemarketing No-Call List

Co-Sponsors:  Johnson (90), Harris (23), Willoughby, Sager,
Dougherty, Jolly, Schoemehl, Skaggs, Walker, Harris (110),
Carnahan, Whorton, Bishop

This bill removes several exemptions and clarifies definitions in
the Telemarketing No-Call Law.  The current law exempts telephone
solicitations from companies with which a consumer has had a
business contact within 180 days.  The bill requires the company
and the consumer to have an established business relationship.
The bill also repeals exemptions for federally licensed
businesses that are required to maintain no-call lists, for
persons responding to a referral or working from home, and for
state-licensed professionals attempting to set an appointment.
Further, the bill removes the requirement that exempt calls on
the behalf of charities must be made by a member of the charity.

The bill contains an emergency clause.
