HB 1587 -- No-Call List

Sponsor:  Johnson (90)

Current law prohibits telephone solicitations from being made to
any residential subscriber in this state who has asked to be
placed on the Attorney General's No-Call List.  The bill removes
several exemptions from the current definition of "telephone
solicitation."  The bill allows calls from a person with whom the
subscriber has an established business relationship to be exempt,
but no longer exempts calls made by or on behalf of any entity
over which a federal agency has regulatory authority or calls
from a person responding to a referral, working from his primary
residence, or a licensed trade person who is trying to set up an
appointment.  The bill no longer requires that a bona fide member
of a charitable organization make telephone solicitations.  The
bill defines the term "telemarketer" as any person or any
recorded, computer-generated, electronically generated, or other
voice communication of any kind who, in connection with
telemarketing, initiates or receives telephone calls to or from a
consumer.  The bill also defines "automatic dialing and
announcing device."

The bill contains an emergency clause.
