Summary of the Law
In 1991 congress enacted the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
It has been revised to conform with marketing practice today by the FCC. The Act defines the rules that must be followed before engaging in marketing
practices, which most simply states that you must gain a form of consent through
a disclosed process.
