New York Cold Calling Compliance
Voice call compliance rules for outbound telemarketing in New York
Mini-TCPA State — N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law §§ 399-p, 399-z
New York has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for Cold Calling operations here.
Consent Requirements
One-to-One Consent Required
Shared consent from lead generators is NOT valid. Consent must specifically name your company.
New York requires prior express consent for live voice telemarketing calls. No written consent required for manual live calls to non-DNC numbers. However, prerecorded messages require prior express WRITTEN consent including the customer's telephone number and signature. For ATDS calls to cell phones, federal TCPA prior express written consent still applies. NY's state-level ATDS definition is focused on prerecorded message delivery devices rather than all automated dialing, making it narrower than states like Florida. The practical compliance path: manual dialing to non-DNC numbers with proper caller ID and disclosure is the lowest-risk approach.
