Massachusetts Do-Not-Call List
State DNC registry requirements for Massachusetts
You must scrub against BOTH the federal National DNC Registry AND the Massachusetts state DNC list before making calls in this state. Scrubbing only the federal list is not sufficient.
Massachusetts Do Not Call Registry
Covers
Massachusetts maintains its own state Do Not Call Registry. The annual subscription fee for telemarketers to receive the registry is $1,100 (plus $60 for CD delivery). The registry is updated quarterly and companies must scrub against each update. Consumer registration is free and permanent. Telemarketers must also maintain their own company-specific DNC list and honor it for at least 5 years. Penalties: up to $5,000 per violation; intentional violations can result in criminal charges and fines up to $10,000 per violation. Exemptions: political polls/fundraising, established business relationships (until consumer opts out), debt collection, and calls to existing customers. Subscription line: toll-free (866) 339-1475.
Federal National DNC Registry (Always Required)
You must scrub the federal list regardless of whether Massachusetts has its own list. There is no opt-out from federal DNC compliance.
