Monthly TCPA Digest - March 2018

Greetings from our TCPA & Consumer Calling team at Mintz Levin. In this issue of our newsletter, we cover recent TCPA regulatory, litigation, and judicial developments. Our Regulatory Update features a discussion on the Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) released by the FCC earlier this month. The FNPRM proposes the creation of a database of reassigned phone numbers. By making it easier for businesses to check which numbers have been reassigned to new owners, the database could cut down on unwanted robocalls. In our Class Action & Litigation Update, we feature an article on the status of post-Spokeo challenges to Article III standing in TCPA cases. Following a recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit, many are hoping the Supreme Court will grant certiorari to develop and clarify pleading requirements. Finally, in our Judicial Update, we report on the release of a long-awaited decision on an appeal of the 2015 TCPA Declaratory Ruling and Order.
