The legislation, signed by Governor Hochul today, requires telemarketers to give customers the option to be added to the company’s do-not-call list at the outset of certain telemarketing calls.
Hochul says consumers usually hang up before a telemarketer or recording has mentioned the do-not-call list, allowing telemarketers to continue calling them again and again.
But by giving consumers the do-not-call list information at the onset of telemarketing calls, Hochul says this will ensure that New Yorkers are protected from incessant, unwanted calls.
