Enacts the do not disturb registry act

Summary

The bill orders the Department of State to build and run a registry where New Yorkers can list phone numbers, email, fax or home address to stop unwanted commercial calls, texts, emails, mail and faxes. Businesses that send large volumes of marketing messages may not contact anyone on the list after it has been on the registry for 31 days, and violations can be fined up to $1,500. The goal is to reduce scams, nuisance, and protect consumer privacy.
