Maryland Telemarketing Bill Looks to Join Florida in Expansively Prohibiting the Use of "Automated Systems for the Selection or Dialing of Telephone Numbers"

Steptoe telemarketing litigation partner new guy Dan Blynn here with a recent state telemarketing law development out of Maryland-and it's not a good one. Specifically, in mid-January 2023, Maryland Senate Bill 90, entitled the "Stop the Spam Calls Act of 2023," was introduced. A hearing was held on the bill in the state Senate Finance Committee just last week, on February 1, 2023. While laudable in its aim, like Florida's and other states' recent telemarketing law amendments before it, the bill only serves to inject ambiguity and raise questions regarding what is prohibited. If passed, the Stop the Spam Calls Act of

2023 will help feather the nests (more) of the plaintiffs' class action bar without offering meaningful relief to Maryland residents.
