MO HB1389

Expands the state no-call list to include wireless telephone numbers and residential subscribers, not just landline customers from local exchange companies.

Prohibits telephone solicitations and automated calls to any residential subscriber on the state no-call list established and maintained by the attorney general.

Defines "automated call" as prerecorded or synthesized voice messages from automatic dialing devices, with exemptions for prior express permission, existing business relationships, emergency notifications, school districts, employers, and telecommunications companies.

Requires callers making telephone solicitations to clearly identify themselves at the beginning of the call and prohibits blocking or circumventing caller identification services.

Allows automatic dialing devices to disconnect within 10 seconds after a subscriber terminates the call, and permits automated messages to be left on answering machines or voicemail if preceded by a live operator announcement.

Establishes civil penalties up to $5,000 per knowing violation enforceable by the attorney general, and allows affected individuals to sue for actual monetary loss or up to $5,000 per violation.
