On February 16, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its report and order concerning revocation of consumer consent under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The FCC order codified some of the agency's rulings on consent revocation and imposed new rules concerning revocation. For calls and texts governed by the TCPA, many such calls/texts require consent from the called party. The long-standing rule has been that once given, the consent can be revoked in any reasonable manner. The FCC did not change that rule but added specific requirements, including the following:
The foregoing changes are not effective until six months after publication in the Federal Register that the Office of Management and Budget has completed its required review, allowing a business to make changes to accommodate the new rules.
Finally, the February 16 FCC order also seeks comment on a proposed rule that would require an automated opt-out mechanism for every call with an artificial or a prerecorded voice message made to a residential line. Currently, such a mechanism is required only if the caller does not have prior express consent.
