     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

                   SENATE, No. 921
                   with committee amendments



 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                   DATED: JANUARY 26, 2023

   The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 921 with committee amendments.
   As amended, this bill requires a telemarketer, within 30 seconds
of making a telemarketing sales call, to provide the customer the
name and telephone number of the person on whose behalf the call
is being made. A violation of the bill’s provisions is to constitute a
disorderly persons offense, in addition to other penalties as already
prescribed by current law.
   The bill also requires the mailing address of a telemarketer and
any business on whose behalf the telemarketer is telemarketing to
be disclosed on any website owned or operated by the telemarketer
and on any subsequent written communication to customers.
   The prohibition on unsolicited sales calls and the requirement to
disclose certain telemarketer information required in this bill do not
apply to telemarketing sales calls when a customer contacts the
telemarketer via phone call or website and affirmatively requests a
follow-up telemarketing sales call or other contact from the
telemarketer.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
    The committee amended the bill to clarify that in addition to a
disorderly persons offense, a party in violation of the bill will incur
other penalties as provided by law.
