82,038 DNC complaints — 885 per 100,000, 8th nationally, up 41.1%. Active DNC registrations: about 7.94 million. Newark sits with New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore on the monthly city boards. Robocalls were the majority of New Jersey’s reported violation type.
Federal floor: TCPA $500 / $1,500.
New Jersey layer:
- New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and telemarketing regulations; AG enforcement.
- No Florida-style private $500 mini-TCPA as the primary ticker. The per-call private engine is the TCPA.
- New Jersey’s variable is density plus a 41% complaint surge. This is not a flyover afterthought. It is a corridor state sitting between two of the loudest metros on earth.
What changed: No 2026 mini-TCPA. New Jersey signed the 49-AG FCC letters. After a FY2021 peak above 168,000 complaints, the count “stabilized” at 82,000 — which is still an 8th-place national emergency.
Left on the table: 82,038 × $500 ≈ $41.0 million. × $1,500 ≈ $123.1 million.
