Georgia's state No Call List was merged into the federal National DNC Registry after the federal registry was established in 2003.

State penalties: up to $5,000 per violation (additional penalties for calls to elderly/disabled). Federal penalties: up to $50,120 per violation. Caller ID blocking is illegal. Permitted hours: 8am-9pm. No state telemarketer registration fee requirement per multiple sources.
