- A bipartisan coalition of 28 AGs filed an amicus brief supporting the FCC in its defense of its “one-to-one consent” Rule, which would close a consent loophole by requiring written consent from consumers for robocalls and texts from each individual seller.
- The amicus brief urges the Eleventh Circuit to reconsider a decision vacating the Rule. The AGs argue that the Rule, which requires that consumers receive clear and conspicuous disclosures when consenting to sharing their contact information and that each seller obtain express consent to contact a specific consumer, provides a critical federal complement to state-level efforts to combat robocalls.
- The AGs highlight that the Rule would prevent lead generators from exploiting a single point of contact with a consumer to subject that consumer to an unending stream of robocalls or texts and would protect consumers’ ability to meaningfully revoke consent.
- We have previously reported on the AGs’ comment letter in support of the Rule.
