Do-Not-Call Act Purpose: On June 27, 2003 the U.S. Federal Trade Commission opened the National Do Not Call Registry in order to comply with the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act. The Do-Not-Call Implementation Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-10, was H.R. 395 of the 108th Congress) was sponsored by representatives Tauzin and Dingell and signed by President Bush on March 11, 2003. This law establishes the FCC's National Do Not Call Registry in order to facilitate compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. This registry is intended to give United States consumers an opportunity to limit the telemarketing calls they receive.
