Fla. Legislature Passes FTSA Changes, NG-911 Bill

The Florida legislature passed changes to the state telemarketing law that attorneys say would undercut class-action complaints under the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act. Senators voted 29-10 Tuesday for HB-761, which would narrow the FTSA’s definition of autodialer (see 2304260035). On Wednesday, the state House voted 115-0 for the Senate-passed SB-1418, which aims to support the state’s transition to next-generation 911. The bills need approval of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). The House also passed a comprehensive privacy bill with amendments Wednesday (see 2305030040).
