California's ADAD statute requires a live person to introduce the call, state the business name/address/phone, and ask if the person consents to hear the prerecorded message — BEFORE the prerecorded content plays. This is stricter than federal TCPA which allows prerecorded messages to play immediately with an opt-out mechanism. In California, you need affirmative consent to even begin the prerecorded portion. EBR exemption exists for calls to established customers using devices that are NOT random/sequential dialers and are used solely to transmit messages to established associates or customers.
