Relating to the definition of telephone call for purposes of regulating telephone solicitations.

It adds a new subsection (6-a) that directs readers to Section 304.002 of the code for the official definition of "telephone call." This bill does not create new regulations or directly affect specific groups; it simply references an existing definition to ensure consistency in how telephone solicitations are regulated. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
