FCC Implements New TCPA Requirement for Prior Express Written Consent on a “One-to-One” Basis

On January 27, 2025, there will be a significant legal change that will fundamentally affect the operations of all lead generators and those who rely on them. Many businesses are aware that the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law that requires prior express written consent in order to send auto-dialed calls, pre-recorded “robocalls” or mass promotional SMS texts. The TCPA also applies to AI-generated calls. But 27 days into the new year, the FCC will implement a new requirement that prior express written consent must be obtained on a “one-to-one” basis.
