Federal rule similar to Indiana robo-call ban

Chicago Tribune

There's a new federal regulation similar to an Indiana law that prohibits the use of autodialing machines to make prerecorded telephone calls.

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller says he welcomes the federal rule that took effect Tuesday, but says Indiana's law is stronger and is not pre-empted by the federal law.

Both laws prohibit the use of prerecorded telemarketing calls unless the consumer has given written permission to be called.
