Overview
Delaware has limited state-specific telemarketing regulation beyond federal TCPA. The AG can pursue violations under the Delaware Consumer Fraud Act (6 Del. C. § 2513) with penalties up to $10,000. No state DNC list, no registration requirement, and no private right of action specific to telemarketing. Relies primarily on federal TCPA and TSR enforcement.
