Arkansas regulates telephone solicitation through two laws. The Arkansas Consumer Telephone Privacy Act, Ark. Code § 4-99-401 et seq., makes it a violation to make a telephone solicitation to a consumer in the Attorney General's do-not-call database, to solicit without first accessing that database, or to solicit in violation of the FTC Do-Not-Call rule in 16 C.F.R. § 310.4. The Attorney General's office says the state list has been merged with the federal registry.
Separately, Ark. Code § 5-63-204 makes it unlawful to use a telephone to offer goods or services for sale, or for political campaign purposes, when the use involves an automated dialing system and recorded messages. Since a 2019 amendment, a violation is a Class D felony. Private remedies and damages amounts could not be confirmed from an official source.
