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.
Curious, if as a non profit, we are excluded from this?
