Additional Notes
Michigan does NOT require telemarketer registration, a license, or a surety bond. The state does regulate telemarketing conduct through MCLS § 445.111b-c, including caller ID protections and a code of conduct. The AG publishes quarterly complaint reports. A prior legislative attempt (Senate Bill 990) to require registration with the PSC at $200/year was not enacted. Solicitor records must still be retained for 2 years.
Michigan does not require any form of telemarketer registration — neither business nor individual.
Apply Before Your First Call
Operating as an unregistered telemarketer in Michigan is a separate violation from consent or calling-hours violations. You can be penalized $5,000 per call even if every other aspect of your operation is compliant.
