Hawaii follows federal TCPA consent standards. Prior express consent (not written) is sufficient for non-marketing calls. Prior express written consent required for telemarketing calls to cell phones using ATDS or prerecorded voice under federal rules. Manual dialing to non-DNC numbers requires no prior consent under state law — just follow federal TCPA.
