Prohibits telemarketers from calling a Missouri resident on the no-call list

HB 2970 would require telemarketers to stop calling Missouri residents who have registered on the state's official no-call list. It directly affects telemarketing companies and sales calls targeting residential customers. The bill includes key exceptions for calls with prior permission, recent business contacts, charitable fundraising by 501(c)(3) organizations, and licensed professionals (like contractors) setting appointments. This proposed law is currently pending in the Missouri legislature after its introduction on January 14, 2026.
