Telemarketing Update: Federal, State, And International Developments

Telemarketing compliance is evolving across federal, state, and international jurisdictions, with the FCC introducing new consent-revocation rules, Pennsylvania narrowing permitted calling hours and expanding coverage to texts and voicemails, and France shifting to a prior-consent framework. These changes affect how businesses schedule campaigns, process opt-outs, and obtain permission to contact consumers.

Telemarketing compliance is shifting on several fronts.

These developments affect different parts of the same campaign, from scheduling messages to processing opt-outs. The review extends further for businesses reaching consumers abroad, where changes such as France’s new prior-consent framework affect whether marketing calls may be made in the first place.
