The rule everyone is preparing for is not in effect yet.
The FCC’s cross-subject revocation requirement has been delayed twice. Most published guidance still cites a date that has already passed. This page is corrected against primary sources and stamped with the date it was last checked.

Federal rules set a minimum. State mini-TCPAs stack on top, and the ones that matter most are the states where an individual can sue you directly rather than waiting for an attorney general.
Second waiver. The compliance date moves again, to January 31, 2027. The order is explicit that it does not disturb any other revocation rule already in force.
