Chapter ATCP 127 - Direct Marketing
Subchapter V - Telephone Solicitations; State Do-Not-Call Registry
Section ATCP 127.82 - Do-not-call registry

(1) OBTAINING THE REGISTRY. Registered telephone solicitors must obtain and use a current state do-not-call registry from the national do-not-call registry website at least once every 31 days.

Note The state do-not-call registry can be obtained at this website http://telemarketing.donotcall.gov/. Registration with the FTC and a valid Subscriber Access Number are required.

(2) SOLICITATIONS PROHIBITED. No person may make a telephone solicitation, either directly or through an employee or agent, to a covered telephone customer whose telephone number appears on the current state do-not-call registry. A telephone solicitation made in violation of this subsection does not, by itself, result in a monetary loss for which a current telephone customer may seek recovery under s. 100.20(5), Stats., unless that customer sustains an actual monetary loss as a result of another violation of this chapter.

(3) STATE DO-NOT-CALL REGISTRY NOT OPEN TO PUBLIC INSPECTION. The department may not release a state do-not-call registry, except that the department may release a state do-not-call registry as necessary to enforce this subchapter, or to comply with a subpoena or judicial process, subject to any protective orders that may be necessary to ensure the confidentiality of the list.
