YouMail: 655,308,900 robocalls in 2025, 422,349,200 in 2026 YTD. 51,924 DNC complaints — 894 per 100,000, up 24.3%.
Federal floor: TCPA $500 / $1,500.
Colorado layer:
- No Call List Act, C.R.S. § 6-1-901 et seq. Separate state list. Telemarketers get quarterly updates and a short window to scrub.
- A No-Call violation is a deceptive trade practice under § 6-1-906, enforced through the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. Private CCPA relief is typically the greater of actual damages or $500, possible treble on bad faith, plus fees. Commentators and AG materials also cite civil penalties up to $2,000 per call on the public-enforcement side.
- State AG actions generally need three or more violations per month before the office proceeds. That cap does not apply to your federal TCPA suit.
What changed: Colorado Privacy Act biometric and minor-data amendments hit in 2025. They are privacy law, not a new per-call robocall statute. The No-Call List mechanics (quarterly refresh) are unchanged.
Left on the table: 51,924 × $500 ≈ $26.0 million. × $1,500 ≈ $77.9 million.

This is a Q3 2026 TeleJustice Academy quarterly law update. Figures: YouMail Robocall Index (estimated volume); 2025 DNC complaint counts and per-capita rates compiled from the FTC Data Book cycle. “Money left on the table” is complaint count × TCPA statutory minimums — an illustration, not a prediction. Robocall indexes include legal recorded calls. Only documented illegal calls and texts support a claim.
