As things stand today, the Indiana "do not call" list maintained by the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General applies only to residential telephone listings. Once a number is placed on the list, the state statute prohibits telephone solicitors from making telephone sales calls to that number.
On January 12, Senator Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) introduced Senate Bill 436 which would allow business telephones to be included on the "do not call" list. In addition, the "do not call" protection would be extended to certain wireless telephones. If the bill passes, it will take effect with the list published for the quarter beginning October 1, 2011.
We will continue to track the progress of this bill and others that may affect businesses and nonprofit organizations in Indiana.
