MO HB1705

Expands the state no-call list to include wireless telephone numbers and residential subscribers using wireless service, in addition to traditional landline services.

Prohibits telephone solicitations and automated calls to residential subscribers on the no-call list, with exceptions for prior express permission, existing business relationships within 180 days, emergency notifications, school districts, employers, and certain licensed professionals.

Adds automated calls to the definition of prohibited communications and establishes that automated calls using automatic dialing-announcing devices must disconnect within ten seconds after the subscriber ends the call.

Extends caller identification blocking prohibitions to automated calls and permits leaving automated messages on answering machines or voice mail if preceded by a live operator announcement.

Authorizes the Attorney General to enforce violations with civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation and allows private citizens to bring actions for damages or injunctions for multiple violations within a 12-month period.
