I hope you all marked your calendar because the day is here. Yet another state, Oklahoma, rolling out their own “mini”-TCPA for 2022. The Czar has been warning you for months about this, check out:
And
A few things to keep in mind as you start your day, the OTSA will:
-
Restricts the time in which consumers can be contact to 8 AM to 8 PM, this is more restrictive than the TCPA.
-
Limits the number of calls/texts a consumer can receive in a 24-hours period to three on the same subject or issue.
-
Private right of action with each found willful violation collection up to $1,500 per call/text.
-
Expands upon the definition of an auto-dialer, and specifically calls out the prohibited use of an” automated system for the selection or dialing of telephone numbers” without the consumer’s prior express written consent.
