FTSA De-Fanged? Everything You Need to Know RIGHT NOW About the Amendments to Florida’s Dreaded Mini-TCPA

Since July, 2021 the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (FTSA) has been the most dreaded of the state level Mini-TCPA statutes. The statute’s definition of autodialer is famously broad and its $500.00 per call minimum statutory penalties applied regardless of whether a business had an established business relationship with the consumer. The FTSA has lead to hundreds of lawsuits—most of them class actions—many arising out of text messages that would not have triggered the federal TCPA following the Supreme Court’s Facebook ruling. This meant that text messages were relatively safe to send at the federal level but very dangerous in state court. Well the Florida Legislature has just passed sweeping changes to the FTSA neutralizing some of its most dangerous provisions. In this critical free webinar we bring together a panel of great lawyers who handle FTSA cases regularly to discuss the impact of the new amendments and how it may change the shape of communication in Florida (and across the nation) moving forward.
