Bill would expand No-Call List law

The bill, which legislators plan to present when session begins Jan. 3, would expand the list to include cell phone numbers, prohibit faxed telemarketing solicitations and stop automatic phone messages from political candidates and campaigns.

“This bill will close some major loopholes in the existing law,” Norr said in a news release. “With a stronger law, we can further protect consumers from unwanted intrusions.”

About 2.4 million phone lines are on the state’s No-Call List. To register for the list, visit Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon’s Web site, www.ago.mo.gov, or call (866) 662-2551.

The bill is Norr’s first since he was elected to the state House Nov. 7 to represent northwest Springfield’s District 137.
