Event Synopsis:
On July 10, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its TCPA Omnibus Declaratory Ruling and Order "to reiterate and simplify the relevant portions of the TCPA." The Ruling laid out a number of TCPA exemptions, reaffirmations, and new rules.
Apparently, the business sector does not welcome the FCC's Ruling. After the FCC released the new rules, the ACA International filed a suit to seek judicial review from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The ACA International contends that the Ruling is in disagreement with the true intent of the TCPA. It was followed by a petition for review filed by the Consumer Bankers Association (CBA).
It is clear that the new rules will adversely affect businesses using automatic telephone dialing technology. The emergency exceptions' limited reach accents the probable illegality of currently used automated commercial communications. The use of autodialing technologies by businesses will be significantly restricted making it harder and costlier for them to connect with their clients.
In light of these new TCPA requirements, companies using automated calls or texts to communicate with their clients must review their business practices to be able to dodge potential violations.
Their panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will offer a discussion of the fundamentals as well as updates regarding the latest and significant compliance issues surrounding FCC's new TCPA Ruling in this two-hour live Webcast. The panel will also provide their expert opinions on how to avoid TCPA pitfalls, risk issues, and strict liabilities.
Key topics include:
- TCPA Omnibus Declaratory Ruling and Order – An Overview
- Criticisms
- Consolidated Appeal: ACA International, et al. v. FCC and United States of America
- Compliance Risk Issues and Challenges
- Liabilities
- Managing Compliance
- Regulatory Forecasts
