Introduced by: Thomas M. Bolvin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Telemarketing Privacy Act. Prohibits telephone solicitors from making telephone solicitations to persons who register with the Office of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to be placed on a list of numbers of persons who do not wish to receive telephone solicitations, and prohibits persons from marketing or selling lists of residential telephone subscribers who have registered on such list. Listing on the registry requires a five-dollar registration fee and may be renewed annually. Telephone solicitors may obtain a copy of the numbers on the list for a $100 annual fee. Telephone solicitors must identify themselves and on whose behalf they are calling, are prohibited from preventing their number and state from being read by a caller ID device, and are prohibited from making telephone solicitations before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. Violations are subject to the enforcement provisions of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. Telephone companies are to notify customers about the database and their rights under this Act on each customer's bill or monthly statement.
