Legal Definitions - Nebraska

Definition: Nebraska has laws in place to regulate telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation, as well as fax anti-solicitation. These laws are designed to protect consumers from unwanted phone calls and faxes.

• Telemarketing and Prize Promotions Act: This law requires telemarketers to identify themselves and disclose certain information about the products or services they are selling. It also prohibits certain types of telemarketing practices, such as calling before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
• Fax anti-solicitation: Nebraska law prohibits unsolicited faxes from being sent to consumers without their consent. This means that businesses cannot send advertisements or other promotional materials to consumers via fax unless the consumer has given them permission to do so.

These examples illustrate how Nebraska's laws protect consumers from unwanted phone calls and faxes. By requiring telemarketers to disclose information about their products and services, and by prohibiting unsolicited faxes, consumers are able to make informed decisions about whether or not to engage with these types of marketing practices.
