FCC sets effective date for new robocall consent rules

The FCC announced the effective date for its new rules to make it simpler for consumers to revoke consent to receive robocalls and robotexts. Let’s have a look.

New rules

The new rules build upon the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act). Here’s what’s new:

  • Consumers can revoke consent in “any reasonable way.”
    • Callers cannot provide only one way to accept consent revocations while excluding other reasonable methods.
  • Callers must honor revocation of consent within a reasonable time frame not to exceed 10 days.
  • Revocation of consent to receive text messages can be acknowledged with a text message to confirm.
  • Revocation of consent only applies to telemarketing communications covered by the TCPA.
    • Callers/texters can continue to send informational calls and messages not covered by the TCPA.

Effective date

The effective date for the new rules is April 11, 2025.
