Arizona House advances bill to ensure 'Do-Not-Call' list will block spam texts

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...

Arizona lawmakers are advancing legislation that would allow residents to opt out of getting junk text messages.

House Bill 2498 would revise the rules governing Arizona's Do-Not-Call registry by allowing the list to apply to text messages in addition to phone calls.

Current law states that anyone who registers on the Do-Not-Call list cannot be contacted over the phone by solicitors or sellers.

HB 2498 expands the list's scope by prohibiting the sending of text messages to numbers registered on the Do-No-Call list. Someone who violates this provision can be cited with a $1,000 civil penalty.

The Arizona House Committee on Commerce voted Tuesday to advance HB 2498 through the Legislature.

The bill must still be approved by the Arizona Senate and Gov. Katie Hobbs before it can become law.
