Caller ID Anti- Spoofing Act

Louisiana · Trade and Commerce · §§ 51-1711 to 51-1775 · 47 sections

Overview

This act regulates deceptive and intrusive solicitation practices directed at consumers, covering promotional contests, sweepstakes, and prize giveaways, work-at-home offers, pay-per-call services, unsolicited fax transmissions, and the collection and advertising practices tied to them. It sets registration and disclosure prerequisites before certain promotions may be run, bars misrepresentations such as false claims that a recipient has won or been specially selected and mailings that simulate checks or invoices, and prohibits waiver of its protections by agreement. Enforcement rests with a designated state consumer-protection division holding investigative and enforcement authority, backed by civil and criminal penalties and private remedies, with defined exemptions for certain parties or transactions.
