On June 29, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill enacting substantial changes to the Florida Telemarketing Act. The governor’s signature on the bill follows the unanimous passage by the Florida Legislature of Senate Bill 1120, which amends Florida’s consumer protection law and the Florida Telemarketing Act.

Most notably, the amendments include important changes to allow a private cause of action to be brought under the Florida Do Not Call Act. If past is prologue, these changes will lead to an increase in court filings as plaintiffs will be able to bring private causes of action in Florida alleging violations of the state’s telemarketing statutes.
