Currently, under Section 407.1095, RSMo, the State maintains a No-Call list administered by the Attorney General’s Office. Missouri residents may register their residential or personal cell phone numbers on this list to indicate that they do not want to receive unsolicited telemarketing calls. Covered telemarketers are prohibited from calling numbers on the No-Call list, with some statutory exceptions. Individuals on the list can pursue civil remedies for violations.
This bill amends the current telemarketing/No-Call statute to prohibit telemarketers from initiating or placing telemarketing calls to set an appointment to Missouri residents whose phone numbers are registered on the State’s No-Call list.
