Bill Summary · HB 375

Legislative bill overview

HB 375 proposes regulations on telephone solicitation practices in Florida, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available action history. The bill was introduced in February 2025 and died in the Industries & Professional Activities Subcommittee after being indefinitely postponed in May 2025.

Why is this important

Telephone solicitation regulation affects both consumer protection from unwanted calls and the business operations of legitimate sales and fundraising organizations. The outcome of such legislation determines what compliance burdens exist for telemarketers and what remedies consumers have against violations.

Potential points of contention

  • Consumer privacy vs. business operations: Stricter regulations protect consumers from harassment but may increase compliance costs for legitimate telemarketing companies
  • Enforcement mechanisms: Disputes often arise over who enforces violations (state, private citizens, attorneys general) and what penalties are appropriate
  • Definition scope: Bills differ on whether exemptions apply to political calls, charitable organizations, debt collectors, or existing customer relationships, creating disagreements about fairness and loopholes
