Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act was passed in 1991. The Federal Communications Commission the rules and regulations implementing the act went into effect on December 20, 1992. A court challenge to parts of the act ultimately failed. From a telephone marketer's viewpoint, the most significant part of the TCPA regulations concern commercial solicitation calls made to residences.

Internet Resources Related to the Federal Government

Sponsored by Congress.org, this page lists lots of Internet-based resources for getting information on Congress and the rest of the Federal Government. This is just a quick summary of those resources. The Federal Government maintains a site called FirstGov which is supposed to help citizens navigate the huge number of government web sites. I highly suggest you start your search there if this page doesn't contain what you are looking for.
