Effort Launched To Strengthen No-Call Telephone Law

The Missouri House is dealing with an effort to strengthen the state’s no-call telephone solicitation law by eliminating some of the loopholes. State Representative Rick Johnson of High Ridge sponsors the bill. He says it is too easy for many telemarketers to get around the law. Those who benefit from these loopholes, according to Johnson, include phone companies, insurance companies, credit card companies, and financial institutions.
