4,010 DNC complaints — 621 per 100,000. The FTC Data Book again lists Vermont in the top five states for DNC registrations per capita. The list is not the problem. Callers ignoring the list is.
Federal floor: TCPA $500 / $1,500.
Vermont layer:
- State consumer-protection / telemarketing rules and AG enforcement.
- No Florida-style private $500 mini-TCPA. The per-call private claim is the TCPA.
- Vermont signed the 49-AG FCC letters.
- A Vermont DNC screenshot is one of the cleanest Exhibit A pages in the country.
What changed: No 2026 mini-TCPA. The registration-to-complaint gap is the story.
Left on the table: 4,010 × $500 ≈ $2.0 million. × $1,500 ≈ $6.0 million.
