Bill > SB2659

This bill requires any person or entity making telephone solicitations to residential subscribers in Tennessee using an automated telephone dialing system, which delivers artificial or prerecorded voice messages, to keep a monthly record of the number of such calls made. Starting October 1, 2026, those making at least 500 such calls per month must submit these records to the commission every six months and provide them upon request from the commission or the attorney general. Furthermore, the bill prohibits making more than 10,000 such telephone solicitations per month, and violating this limit is considered an unfair or deceptive practice under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, with a minimum civil penalty of $1,000 per violation. This legislation aims to regulate unsolicited automated calls and protect consumers from excessive telemarketing.
