Overview

Vermont restricts automatic dialing devices under 9 V.S.A. § 2464a. Vermont is also an all-party consent state for call recording (13 V.S.A. § 1051), adding risk for recorded calls. Consumer Protection Act provides private right of action. AG has enforcement authority with up to $10,000 penalties per violation. Vermont is a small market but can be surprisingly aggressive on enforcement.
