Understanding FCC’s Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) Omnibus Declaratory Ruling: Navigating Compliance Issues and Challenges LIVE Webcast January 22, 2016, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET)
On July 10, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its TCPA Omnibus Declaratory Ruling “to reiterate and simplify the relevant portions of the TCPA.” The Omnibus Declaratory Ruling laid out a number of TCPA exemptions, reaffirmations, and new rules.
It is clear that the new rules will adversely affect businesses using automatic telephone dialing technologies. The limited exceptions provided in the Omnibus Declaratory Ruling accents the dangers of automated dialing tools. The use of autodialing technologies by businesses will be significantly restricted making it harder and costlier for them to connect with their clients.
In light of these new TCPA requirements, companies using automated calls or texts to communicate with their clients must review their business practices to be able to dodge potential violations.
Several parties have filed suit to seek judicial review of the FCC’s Declaratory Ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. These parties contend that the FCC overstepped its bounds and drastically expanded liability under the TCPA.
