Idaho Telephone Solicitation Act

This act regulates commercial telephone solicitation and telemarketing, defining what sellers and solicitors may and may not do when contacting consumers by phone. It establishes a do-not-call list that solicitors must honor, imposes disclosure and conduct duties on callers, restricts the use of automatic dialing-announcing devices, and requires a consumer's consent before charges are billed to an account number the seller already holds, while exempting certain callers and categories of calls from its reach. Enforcement runs on two tracks — the state attorney general may pursue violations in court, and injured consumers have a private right of action with specified remedies, subject to a limitations period — and the state public utilities commission is given rulemaking authority over consumer notification.
