Bill > H279

This bill amends the existing law related to telemarketing solicitation in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. Expanding the definition of "consumer" to include not only individual residents, but also associations, corporations, partnerships, and other entities operating in the Commonwealth that subscribe to residential or business telephone services and are prospective recipients of goods or services. 2. Removing the word "residential" from various sections of the law, effectively allowing businesses to sign up for the "Do Not Call" list to avoid telemarketing solicitations. 3. Replacing the word "person" with "consumer" in certain sections to align the language with the expanded definition. These changes aim to provide businesses in Massachusetts with the same protections as individual residents against unwanted telemarketing calls.
