The bill amends section 501.059 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to telephone solicitation. It revises the definitions of "telephone solicitor" and "telephonic sales call," specifically excluding tax-exempt nonprofit organizations and their representatives from being classified as telephone solicitors. Additionally, it clarifies that calls made by such organizations for religious, charitable, political, or educational purposes do not qualify as telephonic sales calls. The bill also updates the conditions under which attorney fees may be awarded in civil actions related to telephone solicitation, ensuring that the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs after a judgment.

Furthermore, the bill states that the amendments made are remedial in nature and will apply retroactively. It reenacts a provision in section 517.0615 to incorporate the changes made to section 501.059, ensuring that communications made by issuers regarding securities offerings are not considered general solicitation under the telephone solicitation laws. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
