Bill Summary

Relative to direct mailings. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 93 of the Massachusetts General Laws to regulate direct mailings. It defines "direct mail" as advertising materials sent to prospective customers, and establishes requirements for senders to include a valid return address or contact information that recipients can use to opt-out of future mailings. The bill also prohibits the promotion of goods or services in direct mailings that do not comply with the opt-out requirements, with certain exceptions. The bill authorizes the Department of Telecommunications and Cable to promulgate rules and regulations to implement these new provisions.
