March, 2005 FCC FTC The FTC has announced settlements with timeshare sellers and their telemarketers regarding alleged violations of the national "do-not-call" list. The settlement involves a payment of more than $500,000 and also alleged that the telemarketers unlawfully abandoned telephone calls. The telemarketing company did not pay for access to all area codes it called, as well. ARIZONA CONNECTICUT GEORGIA ILLINOIS INDIANA A bill has been proposed which would require customer service employees to disclose the city and state where they are located. MAINE MARYLAND This case is contrary to another case in Maryland involving an insurance company and its independent agents. MINNESOTA NEW YORK Another bill has been proposed in the New York General Assembly which would establish a statewide "do-not-mail/email" registry related to direct marketing solicitations applicable to residential subscribers, only. A bill has been proposed in the New York General Assembly which would add facsimile numbers to the state "do-not-call" list. As unsolicited faxes are prohibited by federal law, this bill likely would have little effect. A bill has been proposed in the New York General Assembly which would narrow the definition of "established customer" for purposes of exemption from the state "do-not-call" list. The exemption now would be limited to calls relating to the existing contract, renewal of an existing contract or payment of a debt pursuant to an existing contract and would not allow other types of sales to established customers if those customers were on the state "do-not-call" list. A bill has been proposed which would add political telemarketing to those calls subject to the restrictions of the state "do-not-call" list. OREGON PENNSYLVANIA
