Legal Question in Technology Law in California
fax and e-mail broadcasts to a customer list
Want to know what the law is pertaining to bulk faxes being sent out from a business to a list of customers.
I heard that it was illegal, but something possibly has recently passed allowing a company to be able to send to its current account listing?

Re: fax and e-mail broadcasts to a customer list
There was a recent change to the federal law governing fax advertising.
The federal law governing email advertising remains unchanged since 2004.

You contacted me off list, but when I wrote back, the email bounced.
The Junk Fax Prevention Act is an amendment to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
The bill number was S.714.
