LEGAL UPDATE: COURT VACATES FCC’S ONE-TO-ONE CONSENT RULE!
You likely saw that the Federal Communications Commission issued a new “one-to-one consent” rule that would have required specific consent for many of your communications with your customers.
On January 24, 2025, the FCC issued an order postponing the implementation of the new “one-to-one consent” rule. This is good news.
Minutes following the FCC’s decision to postpone its new rule, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order entirely vacating the “one-to-one consent” rule. In so doing, the Court held that the FCC “overstepped statutory boundaries” because the new rule “conflicted with the plain language” of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”).
What does this mean for your business?
Status quo. You do not need to worry about complying with the “one-to-one consent” rule since the Eleventh Circuit Court has entirely vacated it. You still need to comply with the TCPA and the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (“FTSA”).
