On May 15, 2023, New Jersey Governor, Phil Murphy signed SB921 (the
"Seinfeld Bill") into law, which amends and adds to New Jersey`s
telemarketing law. As readers of this blog know, this comes on the
heels of Maryland`s enactment of its own mini-Telephone Consumer
Protection Act ("TCPA") law. The Seinfeld Bill is effective as of
December 2023.
The Seinfeld Bill is notably less comprehensive than the mini-TPCA
laws of Florida, Maryland, Washington, and Oklahoma. Unlike those
mini-TCPA laws, the New Jersey law, among other things, does not
include:
* A rebuttable presumption about calls placed to in-state area codes;
* A business-to-business exception;
* Whether there is a private right of action; and
* A provision concerning the use of autodialers.
