Additional Notes
Georgia does NOT require telemarketer registration, a license, or a surety bond. However, SB 73 (effective July 2024) made Georgia one of the most aggressive telemarketing enforcement states by removing the damages cap in private class actions, adding vicarious liability for businesses using third-party vendors, and removing the 'knowing' requirement (now strict liability). Despite no registration, the enforcement risk is substantial. The Georgia PSC maintains a No-Call list that incorporates the federal registry.
Georgia does not require individual salesperson or telemarketer registration. Neither business nor individual registration is mandated. However, SB 73's vicarious liability provisions mean individual employees can expose their employers to significant liability through telemarketing violations.
Apply Before Your First Call
Operating as an unregistered telemarketer in Georgia is a separate violation from consent or calling-hours violations. You can be penalized $2,000 per call even if every other aspect of your operation is compliant.
