State Do-Not-Call Statutes
As of July 2003, at least 38 states require some
form of licensing or registration by telemarketing firms. At least 32 states
currently have particular telemarketing acts known as "do-not-call" laws.
The primary intent of the first law, passed in Florida, was to protect
the elderly. Current state statutes follow.
