HB 1247 -- NO-CALL LIST

SPONSOR:  Cunningham (86)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on
Communications, Energy and Technology by a vote of 19 to 0.

Beginning January 1, 2005, this bill prohibits unsolicited fax
transmissions to a residential subscriber who has requested that
their number be placed on the No-Call List.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that if you have one phone line in
your home that is used for both telephone calls and fax
transmissions, you can put the number on the No-Call List and not
receive unwanted faxes.  However, you cannot put a stand-alone
fax number on the list.  The bill will allow people to put fax
machine numbers on the list to reduce the number of unwanted
faxes and save money on paper and toner.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Cunningham (86); and
Office of Attorney General.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
