   Maryland Telemarketing Bill Looks to Join Florida in Expansively   
   Prohibiting the Use of "Automated Systems for the Selection or Dialing   
   of Telephone Numbers"   
      
   Steptoe telemarketing litigation partner new guy Dan Blynn here with a   
   recent state telemarketing law development out of Maryland-and it's not   
   a good one. Specifically, in mid-January 2023, Maryland Senate Bill 90,   
   entitled the "Stop the Spam Calls Act of 2023," was introduced. A   
   hearing was held on the bill in the state Senate Finance Committee just   
   last week, on February 1, 2023. While laudable in its aim, like   
   Florida's and other states' recent telemarketing law amendments before   
   it, the bill only serves to inject ambiguity and raise questions   
   regarding what is prohibited. If passed, the Stop the Spam Calls Act of   
   2023 will help feather the nests (more) of the plaintiffs' class action   
   bar without offering meaningful relief to Maryland residents.
