TCPA Consent Revocation Modernization (FCC NPRM)

Current understanding

The FCC has opened a proceeding on modernizing how consumers revoke consent for robocalls and robotexts under the TCPA. The agency is seeking comment on shortening the time companies have to honor stop requests, requiring two-way texting support, allowing a single revocation to cover a company’s affiliates, and clarifying how affiliate relationships are treated. The proposal is at the public-comment stage and would tighten, not replace, existing TCPA consent rules.
