HB 2658 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to electronic communications

HB 2658 creates a state "no-call database" allowing Missouri residential phone subscribers to opt out of unsolicited telemarketing calls at no cost. It requires telemarketers to check both the FCC's reassigned number database and the state database before calling, and prohibits "call spoofing" (faking caller ID to defraud or harass). The law also mandates that telemarketers clearly identify themselves at the start of calls and blocks efforts to circumvent caller ID services. This directly affects residential subscribers (who can join the database) and telemarketers (who must comply with the rules and database checks).

House Committee Substitute → Perfected · 2 edits

MINOR

The bill was finalized and reclassified from a House Committee Substitute to a Perfected version, indicating it has passed all legislative stages and is ready for signature. The substantive content regarding telephone solicitation rules remains unchanged, with the only notable text modification being the removal of a specific clause stating that reassigned phone numbers automatically invalidate previous business relationships with telemarketers.

TECHNICAL

The bill's status was updated from 'House Committee Substitute' to 'Perfected', and the Chief Clerk's designation was changed from 'H' to 'P' to reflect its final legislative status.

REQUIREMENT

A specific provision requiring telemarketers to invalidate previous business relationships when a phone number is reassigned was deleted, likely because it was superseded by the definition of the 'Reassigned number database' or deemed unnecessary.
