AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the definition of "consumer" in the state's "Do Not Call" registry law to include not only individual residents, but also businesses and other entities that subscribe to telephone services in the state. The bill removes the word "residential" from various sections of the law, allowing businesses to sign up for the "Do Not Call" list and receive the same protections against unwanted telemarketing calls as individual consumers. This change is intended to provide businesses with the same ability as individuals to opt-out of receiving unsolicited telemarketing calls.
