Subject: NEW FLORIDA TCPA LEGISLATION SIGNED AND EFFECTIVE JULY
1!!!!
New Florida TCPA Legislation SIGNED And EFFECTIVE JULY 1!!!! - Media,
Telecoms, IT, Entertainment - United States (mondaq.com)
By David O. Klein (New York)
On June 29, 2021, Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, signed CS/SB 1120
into law (the "Law"). Telemarketing businesses will notice many
similarities between the Law and the Federal Telephone Consumer
Protection Act ("TCPA"). Most notably is the creation of a private
right of action. The Law goes into effect on July 1, 2021. The Law
significantly updates both the Florida Telemarketing Act and the
Florida Do Not Call Act to create what is the equivalent of a Florida
TCPA. Telemarketers should be mindful of the updates contained in the
Law and take appropriate measures to comply with its provisions if it
passes into law.

***** Moderator's Note *****
This somewhat breathless paean to the Governor of Florida reads like a
press release issued by the Governor's office: it includes gushing
praise, an overly enthusiastic announcement, and a vague threat issued
to "Telemarketers" as if they were innocent children hearing about the
Bogeyman who will punish them for saying the emperor has no clothes
on.

Subject: Court Clarifies What A TCPA Number Generator Is
by David O. Klein (New York)
A California federal court recently joined a North Carolina court in
clarifying that the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA")
contains a narrow definition of "autodialer." Undermining a favorite
argument used by TCPA plaintiffs, the Court in Hufnus v. DoNotPay,
Inc. found that, to qualify as an autodialer, dialing equipment must
use a random or sequential number generator to actually create the
contact list used to place the subject calls or send the subject
texts. Using a TCPA number generator merely to determine dialing
order, the Court explained, does not qualify as using an autodialer.
