HB 689 Telephone Privacy Protection Act; prohibits telephone solicitation to persons on Do-Not-Call Regist.
Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act; telephone solicitation. Expands the definition of a "telephone solicitation call" to include solicitation calls made to any wireless telephone with a Virginia area code. A telephone solicitor is prohibited from calling a telephone number that has been placed on the federal Do Not Call Registry. The bill provides that the use of a version of the federal Do Not Call Registry obtained no more than three months prior to the date of the telephone solicitation is an affirmative defense to an action alleging a violation of the Telephone Privacy Protection Act. The bill requires telephone solicitors to play a prerecorded identification message that states the name and telephone number of the person on whose behalf the telephone solicitation call was being made, whenever a live person is not available within two seconds of completing the greeting. This bill is identical to SB 344.
