Make changes to the telemarketing law

Updated definitions for 'voice service provider,' 'voice service,' and 'text message' to include modern communication technologies like VoIP and internet protocol-enabled messaging services.

Added new provisions granting the attorney general expanded investigative powers, including subpoena authority, ability to designate representatives for out-of-state evidence, and procedures for compelling testimony.

Created new mechanisms for the attorney general to suspend investigations, accept voluntary compliance assurances, and reopen investigations when necessary.

Established specific civil penalty amounts ($500 per violation, up to $1,500 for willful violations) and a five-year statute of limitations for bringing enforcement actions.

Required that civil penalties collected be deposited into the telemarketing fraud enforcement fund to support investigation and enforcement costs.

Added exemptions for voice service providers meeting specific criteria, including those operating as incumbent local exchange carriers or eligible telecommunications carriers.

Removed page numbers and formatting markers from the original text as part of the legislative process transition.
