The bill proposes to repeal the existing section 407.1095 of Missouri law and replace it with a new section that clarifies definitions related to telephone solicitation. The new language defines key terms such as "caller identification service," "residential subscriber," and "telephone solicitation." It specifies that telephone solicitation includes various forms of communication aimed at promoting the purchase or rental of goods and services, while also outlining exceptions to this definition. Notably, the bill removes the previous language regarding fundraising by charitable organizations and replaces it with a provision that allows such communications as long as they are made by a bona fide member of the organization. Additionally, it maintains certain exemptions for communications made with prior consent, within a specified timeframe of previous business contact, or by entities regulated by federal agencies. Overall, the bill aims to update and clarify the regulations surrounding telephone solicitation in Missouri.
