On April 7, 2025, the FCC’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) released an order announcing a one-year delay of a new implementing rule for the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) related to consumers’ ability to revoke consent to receive autodialed and/or prerecorded calls and texts. The order was issued just days before the rule was scheduled to take effect on April 11. Below we summarize CGB’s action and explain what it means for businesses going forward.
The losses come despite the fact that a 'Government and Business Impersonation Rule' came into effect last April to help tackle the problem. The rule makes it illegal to "materially and falsely pose" as a government or business entity or officer. Firms or people who do face penalties of up to $53,088 and being made to refund victims.
