HB 1363 Unsolicited facsimile transmissions.

Introduced by: David A. Nutter | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Unsolicited facsimile transmissions. Makes the unsolicited transmission of advertising materials by facsimile a prohibited practice under the Consumer Protection Act. The bill eliminates the requirement that the unsolicited facsimile be advertising goods or services for sale or lease. The State Corporation Commission is empowered to block access to any telephone number used in connection with such transmissions. Enforcement provisions under the Consumer Protection Act (i) permit the Attorney General to issue civil investigative demands and assurances of voluntary compliance, (ii) create an individual action for damages, and (iii) permit aggrieved parties or the Attorney General to seek injunctive relief to prevent further violations.
