Colorado maintains a SEPARATE state No-Call List administered by the PUC through its designated agent, Data Protection Group LLC. Over 2.7 million Coloradans are registered. Telemarketers face a DUAL registration requirement: (1) Register with the Colorado AG ($200 initial, $100 annual renewal) and (2) Register with the Colorado No-Call program via ColoradoNoCall.com. No-Call List registration fees are annual, based on total company employee count, ranging from $0 to $500. Penalties include actual damages, statutory damages up to $500 per violation, and attorney fees. Consumers register for free online at ColoradoNoCall.com or by calling 303-776-2678 / 800-309-7041. Must scrub against BOTH the state list and the federal NDNC.
