House Panel to Consider Reforms to TCPA This Week

Palmetto Business Daily highlights this week’s House Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee hearing to examine reforms to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). 

The article also mentions a coalition letter, signed by 27 groups including ILR, urging the committee to act on TCPA reforms.  

“When the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was written 25 years ago, it was well-intentioned legislation serving the important purpose of protecting the privacy of Americans against abusive telemarketing calls,” reads the letter. “Since then, the TCPA has become an engine for abusive class action litigation—hitting businesses both large and small.”
