Summary:

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was enacted in 1991 to address growing concerns about intrusive telemarketing practices. The Act prohibits unsolicited calls to residential lines without prior consent, established the National Do-Not-Call Registry, regulates auto-dialers and robocalls, and requires telemarketers to provide caller ID information. The TCPA has had a significant impact on consumer protection, empowering consumers to opt-out of unwanted calls and making informed choices about their telecommunications.
