South Carolina does NOT maintain a separate state DNC list and has NO state telemarketer registration requirement. The federal NDNC is the only list. However, the SC Telephone Privacy Protection Act (SCTPPA, S.C. Code Ann. § 37-21-10, enacted 2018) provides strong state enforcement. Telemarketers must maintain internal DNC lists and honor opt-out requests. Permitted hours: 8am-9pm. Penalties under SCTPPA: $1,000 per violation, $5,000 per willful violation, plus attorney fees and court costs. Proposed legislation (2025): the "Telephone Solicitation Act" would require express written consent for any automated commercial sales calls. Enforcement: SC AG and Department of Consumer Affairs.
