Mini-TCPA State — O.C.G.A. § 46-5-27

Georgia 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

StatuteO.C.G.A. § 46-5-27(c)

AI voice calls in Georgia require prior express written consent. The combination of automated calling restrictions (criminal penalties for patterns) and Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act (deceptive practices if AI is not disclosed) creates significant liability for AI voice outreach without consent.
