Abstract

The Act prohibits telephone solicitations to residential telephone subscribers who indicate their opposition to such solicitations. Residents who do not wish to receive telephone solicitations may pay a fee to have their phone number entered into a data base. The Georgia Public Service Commission shall establish this data base and provide for its operation. Information contained in the data base will not be subject to public inspection or disclosure. The administrator of consumer affairs will provide enforcement. The Act provides for penalties in the event of noncompliance.
