Brown (Washington) , Scott D. Delacourt (Washington), Kevin G. Rupy (Washington), Kathleen E. Scott (Washington), Stephen Conley (Washington) and Kelly Laughlin (Washington) Wiley Rein On January 20, 2023, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission) announced the long-awaited effective date of new requirements for certain calls that are otherwise exempt from the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. These new rules stem from a December 2020 Report and Order, which updated a number of TCPA exemptions pursuant to the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act). Among other things, the Report and Order added call limits and opt-out requirements for the following types of artificial or prerecorded voice calls: (1) non-commercial calls to a residence; (2) commercial calls to a residence that do not include an advertisement or constitute telemarketing; (3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization calls to a residence; and (4) HIPAA-related calls to a residence. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1274584?q=1803232&n=680&tp=5&tlk=8&lk=42 -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies) |

The two agencies are partnering in efforts to combat dark patterns and expressed their commitment to bringing action where necessary. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1275140?q=1803232&n=680&tp=9&tlk=1&lk=56 -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies) |
