On October 12, 2000, Governor George E. Pataki signed legislation creating the "Do Not Call" Telemarketing Sales Calls Registry ("Registry"). The law is effective April 1, 2001.
Under the law, most telemarketing sales calls will be prohibited thirty days after a residential telephone number appears on a current quarterly Registry. Telemarketers who violate the law are subject to a fine of up to $2,000 per call.
You can add your name to this list at no cost and your name and number cannot be used by telemarketers for anything other than compliance with this law.

The Registry affects even out of state callers. Once your number has been included on the Registry, no telemarketer may call you, regardless of the call's geographic origin (unless the telemarketer is covered by an exception provided for in the law).
