   A small handful of states have enacted their take on the Federal   
   Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), prohibiting the use of   
   automated telephone sales calls without prior express written   
   consent. These laws are designed to protect consumers from receiving   
   unauthorized and unwanted telemarketing calls. Oklahoma recently   
   passed such legislation, the OTSA, which is based in large part on the   
   Florida Telephone Solicitation Act ("FTSA"). Readers of our blog know   
   that the FTSA imposed additional restrictions on telemarketing beyond   
   those contained in the TCPA and created a state-based avenue for   
   telemarketing litigation. Over the last year, FTSA lawsuits have   
   changed the telemarketing landscape in Florida. In all likelihood, we   
   can expect to see a similar bombardment of lawsuits alleging   
   violations of the OTSA.
