On October 12, 2000, Governor George E. Pataki signed the Do Not Call telemarketingregistry bill into law.
The new law will become effective on April 1, 2001.

Under the law, it will be illegal for telemarketers to call you once your name appears on the registry.
This will eliminate unwanted high-pressure calls in which telemarketers attempt to sell you a product or
service over the telephone. Telemarketers who violate the law could be subject to a fine of
up to $2,000 per call.

To make it easier for you to participate in the registry, the Consumer Protection Board is
offering you an opportunity to PRE-REGISTER on the Do Not Call list.

Once your name appears on the Do Not Call registry, telemarketers have thirty (30) days to
remove your name from their call lists. By PRE-REGISTERING today, most unwanted
telemarketing calls to the number you list on the registry will be illegal after May 1, 2001.

Please fill-out the [form on the internet or call] to PRE-REGISTER for the protections offered by
the new Do Not Call law. An informational packet explaining the provisions of the new law
will be sent to you.
