Nebraska Quarterly Law Update: 798 Complaints per 100,000 — Higher Than Most Coasts — and the TCPA Still Pays $500–$1,500 a Call

By Christopher Prosser, BA AA, CLA • September 10, 2026

State-by-State Updates

15,688 DNC complaints — 798 per 100,000, up a modest 4.3%, but the rate is the story. Nebraska outranks California, Texas, and New York on complaints per capita. Callers do not skip 402.

Federal floor: TCPA $500 / $1,500.

Nebraska layer:

  • State telemarketing / consumer-protection statutes and AG enforcement.
  • No Florida-style private $500 mini-TCPA. Private per-call statutory damages ride the TCPA.
  • Nebraska signed the multistate FCC carrier comments.

What changed: No 2026 mini-TCPA. The live fact is the per-capita complaint rank, not a new code section.

Left on the table: 15,688 × $500 ≈ $7.8 million. × $1,500 ≈ $23.5 million.
