On Tuesday, Gov. Cuomo signed legislation expanding New York State s definition of telemarketing to include marketing by text message. Our consumer protections need to keep pace with technology and New Yorkers who have long been plagued by the nuisance of annoying calls from telemarketers now have to contend with unwanted texts attempting to sell them things they don t want, Cuomo said. This legislation closes this annoying loophole and will help ensure our laws are modernized to confront the needs of New Yorkers.
New Yorkers have protection against unwanted robocalls under state law, but texting was not previously defined as telemarketing, exempting it from those protections. This legislation closes that loophole, officials say.
