Consumer Protection - As introduced, authorizes the attorney general to establish a do not call registry; places certain restrictions upon telephone solicitations and robocallers; authorizes the attorney general to enforce restrictions and sets monetary amounts for penalties imposed by a court that makes a finding of a violation. - Amends TCA Title 39; Title 47 and Title 65.

SB 2209 would create a Tennessee "Do Not Call" registry, allowing residents to register their phone numbers to stop unsolicited telemarketing calls. It requires businesses to obtain written consent from consumers before making certain sales calls, with specific rules for that consent (including clear disclosures and no requirement to sign for purchases). The bill also bans robocalls (including prerecorded messages and spam texts) and authorizes the Tennessee Attorney General to enforce these rules, seeking court-imposed fines for violations. This directly affects telemarketers operating in Tennessee and protects residents from unwanted calls and fraudulent charges.
