S 202 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

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

This bill expands the existing "Do Not Call" list in Massachusetts to include businesses, allowing them to opt out of unsolicited telemarketing calls just as individual residents can. By amending state law, the legislation redefines who qualifies as a "consumer" to explicitly include corporations and other entities that use telephone services. The changes also remove the word "residential" from specific sections of the statute, ensuring that the protections against unwanted calls apply equally to both home and business phone lines.
