How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Sec. 5. (a) This section does not apply to any of the following messages:

(1) Messages from school districts to students, parents, or employees.

(2) Messages to subscribers with whom the caller has a current business or personal relationship.

(3) Messages advising employees of work schedules.

(b) A caller may not use or connect to a telephone line an automatic dialing-announcing device unless:
