Bill > S272

This bill expands the existing "Do Not Call" list regulations in Massachusetts to include businesses, not just individual residential consumers. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "consumer" in Chapter 159C to encompass not only individual residents but also business entities like corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other organizations that operate in Massachusetts and subscribe to telephone services. The bill removes the word "residential" from several sections of the existing law, effectively broadening the scope of telemarketing solicitation protections to apply to both residential and business telephone numbers. By making these changes, the legislation aims to provide greater protection against unwanted telemarketing calls for both individual consumers and businesses in the commonwealth, giving more entities the ability to opt out of unsolicited telephone solicitations.
