Consumer Protection - As introduced, authorizes the attorney general to establish a do not call registry; places certain restrictions upon telephone solicitations and robocallers; authorizes the attorney general to enforce restrictions and sets monetary amounts for penalties imposed by a court that makes a finding of a violation. - Amends TCA Title 39; Title 47 and Title 65.
HB 2225 creates a state-level "Do Not Call" registry that allows Tennessee residents to opt out of unsolicited telephone solicitations. It restricts automated calls (robocalls) and unsolicited sales calls, particularly during evening hours, and requires businesses to honor consumer opt-out requests. The Tennessee attorney general can enforce these rules, impose court-ordered fines for violations, and maintain the registry with input from federal systems. This directly affects consumers who receive unwanted calls and businesses making phone solicitations in Tennessee.
