Okla. Mini-TCPA Takes Effect

An Oklahoma law adding telemarketing restrictions beyond the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act took effect Tuesday. The Oklahoma Telephone Solicitation Act (OTSA) is similar to the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, a mini-TCPA that has produced many class-action lawsuits. OTSA expands the definition of an auto-dialer and includes a private right of action with willful violations subject to $1,500 fines per call or text.
