On July 10, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission issued a declaratory ruling and order under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. A 227 , resolving 21 separate requests for clarification from consumers and industry groups in the face of growing litigation and technological changes in the field of telemarketing.
