Prohibits unsolicited telemarketing sales calls during certain declared states of emergency

Summary

The bill makes it illegal for any telemarketer operating in New York to knowingly place unsolicited sales calls to residents in counties, cities, towns, or villages that are under a declared state or disaster emergency, but only when the emergency declaration specifically states that such calls would hinder response efforts. The prohibition lasts no longer than two weeks at a time, though it can be renewed if the emergency persists. The measure takes effect immediately.
