A Congressional Research Service report described the Do Not Call registry and how it developed on a federal level and in various states. “No single law creates the list,” said the CRS report (http://bit.ly/1uTh1Nl), authored by legislative attorney Kathleen Ann Ruane and dated Aug. 14. “Instead, it developed from a combination of statutes and regulations over time, as Congress and the federal agencies tasked with the responsibility of regulating telemarketing developed strategies to better alleviate perceived consumer harm.” The 12-page report sought to answer what it deemed frequently answered questions about Do Not Call.
