AI-generated voice agent compliance rules in Connecticut

⚠

Mini-TCPA State — Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-288a et seq.

Connecticut has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for AI Voice operations here.

Consent Requirements

Consent LevelWritten Consent Required

One-to-One Consent Required

Shared consent from lead generators is NOT valid. Consent must specifically name your company.

ATDS DefinitionBroader than federal

Checkbox ConsentNot sufficient

StatuteConn. Gen. Stat. § 52-570c; § 42-288a

AI voice calls in Connecticut require prior express written consent. The ATCS Act was written broadly enough to capture AI voice technology. There is no specific AI disclosure requirement yet, but CUTPA's deceptive practices prohibition means failing to disclose AI use could be separately actionable.
