The North Dakota AG’s 2026 FCC filing cited more than 41.6 million robocalls into the state so far this year — roughly 65 calls per person. 3,310 DNC complaints in 2025 — 425 per 100,000, up 42.6%.
Federal floor: TCPA $500 / $1,500.
North Dakota layer:
- State consumer-protection / telemarketing rules and AG enforcement.
- No Florida-style private $500 mini-TCPA. The per-call private claim is the TCPA.
- AG Drew Wrigley co-led the September 2026 FCC comments with Minnesota on Know-Your-Upstream-Provider carrier rules.
What changed: The FCC letter is the 2026 headline. Your private file is still the call log.
Left on the table: 3,310 × $500 ≈ $1.7 million. × $1,500 ≈ $5.0 million. Small population. Real statute. Almost nobody files.
