House amendment to the 2nd edition modifies the definition of prior express written consent in GS 75-101 so that it is a written agreement that: (1) bears the signature (defined) of the person called that clearly authorizes the seller to deliver or cause to be delivered to the person called telephone solicitations; (2) includes the telephone number to which solicitations are authorized to be delivered; and (3) contains a clear and conspicuous disclosure informing the signatory that the person, in signing the agreement, authorizes the seller to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the signatory telephone solicitations and that the person is not required to sign the agreement or enter into the agreement as a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services. (Previously, term meant a written agreement bearing the signature of the telephone subscriber that clearly authorizes the telephone solicitor to deliver or cause to be delivered to the telephone subscriber telephone solicitations, and the telephone number to which the signatory authorizes such telephone solicitations to be delivered. Prior express written consent for a call or text (i) shall be to a single person; (ii) may be obtained only after clear and conspicuous disclosure that the telephone subscriber will receive future calls on behalf of a specific seller; (iii) is effective if the form of signature is recognized as a valid signature under applicable federal or State law; and (iv) is nontransferable.)
