Mini-TCPA State — 9 V.S.A. § 2464a (Automatic Dialing Devices)

Vermont has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for AI Voice operations here.

Consent Requirements

Consent LevelWritten Consent Required

One-to-One Consent Required

Shared consent from lead generators is NOT valid. Consent must specifically name your company.

Checkbox ConsentNot sufficient
Statute9 V.S.A. § 2464a; 47 U.S.C. § 227; FCC Declaratory Ruling Feb 2024

AI-generated voice calls fall under both VT's ADAD statute and the FCC's February 2024 ruling treating AI voice as artificial/prerecorded. Prior express written consent required. Vermont's Consumer Protection Act enforcement adds state-level exposure.
