HB 2055 Telephone Privacy Protect. Act; prohib. telephone solicitation, date change made consis. w/fed. reg.
Introduced by: Samuel A. Nixon, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act; telephone solicitation. Provides that telephone solicitors using a version of the National Do Not Call Registry obtained from their administrator no more than 31 days prior to the date of a telephone solicitation call constitutes a reasonable practice and procedure to effectively prevent telephone solicitation calls that would violate the Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act. The establishment and implementation of reasonable practices and procedures to effectively prevent such telephone solicitation calls is an affirmative defense to an action claiming a violation of the Act. Currently, such defense is available to telephone solicitors that use a version of the National Do Not Call Registry obtained within three months preceding the date of the call. Reducing the period from three months to 31 days makes the Act consistent with federal regulations.
