2018 House Bill 6350

Increase “do not call” list violation penalties

Introduced in the House

Sept. 12, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Phil Phelps (D-49)

To increase the penalties for violation a state law regulating commercial telephone solicitations that authorized a state “do not call” list. The bill would authorize a process by which callers receiving notification to not call a particular number would incur damage penalties each time they did so. Note: At the time the bill was introduced state officials appear to have no way to effectively enforce this law, and the Federal Communications Commission is also struggling to find way.

Referred to the Committee on Commerce and Trade
