Lawmakers approve reform of the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act
Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign an amendment to the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act that aims to end lawsuits against business owners who legitimately market to their existing clients.
“The FTSA, as currently enacted, is being used by a cottage industry of plaintiffs firms and professional plaintiffs who seek to end run businesses’ legitimate signup procedures, and capitalize on enormous class action exposure,” said Alexis Buese, co-chair of the Gunster Class Action Defense Group.
As reported by the National Law Review, the FTSA currently bans all automated telemarketing sales phone calls and text messages unless consumers provide consent in writing.
