Illinois Cold Calling Compliance
Voice call compliance rules for outbound telemarketing in Illinois
Mini-TCPA State — 815 ILCS 413/ (Restricted Call Registry Act)
Illinois has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for Cold Calling operations here.
Consent Requirements
Manual voice calls to non-DNC numbers require prior express consent. MUST register with IL AG and post $25,000 bond. Scrub against BOTH Illinois Restricted Call Registry AND federal DNC. Calling hours 8 AM to 9 PM. Must identify yourself, company, and purpose. Illinois layers multiple statutes: ITSA (civil), RCRA (DNC + private action), ICFA (consumer fraud), and criminal automated calling statute. The aggregate liability per unauthorized call in Illinois is among the highest in the nation.
