Definition
Mini-TCPA laws are state statutes that regulate telephone solicitations and automated calls and texts on top of the federal TCPA, often with their own consent rules, calling-hour and frequency limits, and private rights of action.
The best-known example is the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (FTSA). Amendments that took effect in July 2021, a few months after the Supreme Court narrowed the federal autodialer definition, gave consumers a private right of action and reached calls made with automated systems defined more broadly than the federal ATDS, which set off a wave of class actions. Florida narrowed the law in 2023, including that definition, and added a notice-and-cure period for text messages. Oklahoma enacted a similar Telephone Solicitation Act in 2022, and other states have adopted their own versions.
These laws generally target telephone solicitations, meaning calls or texts that market goods or services, so purely informational healthcare calls are often outside their scope. The line can be thin, and healthcare is not immune: Kaiser Permanente's $10.5M Fried v. Kaiser settlement (December 2025) resolved claims under both the TCPA and the FTSA. State laws also differ on calling hours, call frequency, and consent, so a program calling across state lines has to apply the rules of the state each patient is in.
