An Act allowing businesses to sign up for the "Do Not Call" list

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow businesses to register for the state's "Do Not Call" list, which currently only covers residential phone numbers. By redefining the term "consumer" to include corporations and other entities, the legislation expands the list's scope to protect businesses from unwanted telemarketing calls. The changes remove the word "residential" from specific sections of the existing statute and replace instances of "person" with "consumer" to ensure businesses are legally recognized as eligible subscribers. Consequently, businesses operating in the state would gain the ability to opt out of unsolicited sales calls just as individual homeowners can.
