AI Summary

  • Amends the definition of "telephone solicitation" in section 44-1271 to clarify that it includes voice communications offering merchandise for sale that are to or from persons located in Arizona, removing previous language limiting it to communications "to a telephone number in this state."

  • Modifies section 44-1282 to replace the term "intrastate" with "outbound" when describing prohibited telephone solicitation calls under the national do-not-call registry.

  • Eliminates a separate subsection that allowed sellers and solicitors authorized under federal do-not-call law to conduct intrastate telephone solicitations, consolidating do-not-call rules.

  • Maintains existing exceptions to do-not-call requirements for calls related to past or present employment agreements, referrals from personal relationships, and express consumer requests.

  • Preserves the enforcement provision establishing violations as unlawful practices with civil penalties not to exceed $1,000 per violation, with collected fines credited to the state general fund.
