AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws chapter 159C, section 5A, by adding a new subsection that requires telemarketers to provide an option for recipients of pre-recorded telephone or facsimile telemarketing messages to be removed from future call lists. This means that when a business or individual receives an automated sales call or fax, the message must include clear instructions on how to opt-out of receiving further solicitations. The purpose of this provision is to enhance consumer protection by giving people more control over unwanted telemarketing communications.
