Montana Quarterly Law Update: Complaints Up 48%, 197 Million Robocalls, and a Big-Sky TCPA File That Almost Nobody Files
Montana took about 197 million robocalls in 2025 and 7,510 Do Not Call complaints — up 47.8%. Federal TCPA damages of $500–$1,500 apply in Missoula the same way they apply in Miami. Distance is not a defense.
Michigan Quarterly Law Update: 1.5 Billion Robocalls, Detroit in the Top 10, and a Consumer Protection Act Waiting Behind the TCPA
Michigan took 1.48 billion robocalls in 2025 and 86,552 Do Not Call complaints. Detroit remains a top-10 U.S. robocall city. Federal TCPA damages of $500–$1,500 apply to every documented illegal call. The Michigan Consumer Protection Act rides with a deceptive pitch.
Massachusetts Quarterly Law Update: 480 Million Robocalls, Complaints Up 45%, and Chapter 93A Treble Damages on Top of the TCPA
Massachusetts took 479.6 million robocalls in 2025 and 48,190 Do Not Call complaints — up 45.1%. The state ranks near the top nationally in DNC registrations. Chapter 93A can treble damages and shift fees after a 30-day demand. Federal TCPA still pays $500–$1,500 per illegal call.
Maryland Quarterly Law Update: Stop the Spam Calls Act Now Pays $500–$1,500 Under State Law, Baltimore Is a Top-10 City, and 884 Million Robocalls Landed in 2025
Maryland took 883.5 million robocalls in 2025 and 46,490 Do Not Call complaints. The 2023 Stop the Spam Calls Act, patched in 2024, now gives called parties a private action for $500 or actual damages, trebled if willful. Stack that with the federal TCPA. Baltimore is still a top-10 U.S. robocall city.
Maine Quarterly Law Update: Reassigned-Number Scrubbing Is Now the Law, AG Fines Hit $25,000, and 128 Million Robocalls Still Came Through
Maine took 128.3 million robocalls in 2025 and 7,234 Do Not Call complaints. In 2024 Maine required telemarketers to scrub the National Reassigned Number Database. State AG penalties run $10,000 then $25,000. Your private $500–$1,500 still comes from the TCPA.
Louisiana Quarterly Law Update: 1.6 Billion Robocalls, Complaints Up 57%, and Why New Orleans and Shreveport Stay on the National Board
Louisiana took 1.61 billion robocalls in 2025 — more than many larger states — and 32,510 Do Not Call complaints, up 56.8%. Federal TCPA damages of $500–$1,500 apply to every documented illegal call. Almost none of that money is being claimed.
Kentucky Quarterly Law Update: 675 Million Robocalls, Complaints Up 44%, and a Telemarketing Act Built for the AG — Plus Your TCPA File
Kentucky took 675.1 million robocalls in 2025 and 34,544 Do Not Call complaints — up 44.3%. State telemarketing rules give the Attorney General a hammer. The private $500–$1,500 per illegal call still lives in the federal TCPA.
Kansas Quarterly Law Update: 374 Million Robocalls, a Top-Five DNC Registration State, and a No-Call Act the AG Actually Uses
Kansas took 374.4 million robocalls in 2025 and 24,043 Do Not Call complaints — up 41%. Kansans sign the DNC list at one of the highest rates in America. The calls come anyway. Federal TCPA damages of $500–$1,500 are still the private per-call engine.
Iowa Quarterly Law Update: 263 Million Robocalls, a Quiet Statute Book, and $500–$1,500 Still Attached to Every Illegal Ring
Iowa took 262.5 million robocalls in 2025 and 15,926 Do Not Call complaints. Iowa has no flashy mini-TCPA. It has the federal TCPA. That is still $500 to $1,500 per documented illegal call.
