Congress has approved new legislation that will modify the National Do Not Call registry to make it more like the "Never Call" Registry. The law will continue to allow citizens to opt-out of telemarketing calls, but with less effort—it will negate the need to renew their registration. The modifications, which also provide continuing funding, will now go to President Bush for approval.
Both the House and the Senate approved their own versions of the bill last month—the House with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007 (S 781), and the Senate with the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007 (HR 3541). The House version addresses customers' need to re-register their phone numbers on the list every five years by eliminating that requirement and making registrations permanent. Customers will now only need to register again if they change phone numbers, and may remove themselves from the list at any time.
