A quick definition of Wisconsin:
Wisconsin: Wisconsin has laws that protect people from unwanted phone calls and faxes. Telemarketers and solicitors are not allowed to call people who have put their phone numbers on the state's Do Not Call list. If someone does call you and you don't want them to, you can report them to the state. The state also has laws against sending unsolicited faxes. Additionally, it is illegal to produce or distribute pornography in Wisconsin.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Wisconsin has laws in place to regulate telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation, fax anti-solicitation, and pornography. These laws include:
- Wisconsin Statutes §§ 100.52 and 100.525, which regulate telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation
- Wisconsin Statute § 134.73, which regulates fax anti-solicitation
- Wisconsin Statute § 944.25, which regulates pornography
For example, Wisconsin Statutes §§ 100.52 and 100.525 require telemarketers to identify themselves and their purpose for calling, and to honor requests to be placed on a do-not-call list. Wisconsin Statute § 134.73 prohibits unsolicited fax advertisements. Wisconsin Statute § 944.25 prohibits the distribution of certain types of pornography.
These laws are in place to protect consumers from unwanted solicitations and to regulate the distribution of potentially harmful materials.
