We've just randomly been made aware that we are not allowed to contact any resident in the state of New York (NYS) as they have declared a State of Emergency. Apparently there was a law passed in December 2019 that prohibits any telemarketers from making unsolicited calls to residents of NYS when a State of Emergency has been declared.
We rely greatly on our outbound telemarketing team and were surprised by this news. My question is - are there other US states where this is an issue? In googling, I've been able to find that Louisiana also has this rule.
Hi Michele,
I've reached out to our supplier on this as well. I'll share what I find out.
