Do Not Call Law

This is from the FCC on the 'Do Not Call' law. It seems according to this paragraph that the non-profit organizations are still legally to abide by the 'Do Not Call' law.

Here is the link to the excerpt below.

Here is the link to lodge a complaint against whom ever you think isn't following the law correctly, and bugging you with their incessant phone calls. Click here.

C. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which the Proposed Rules Will Apply

22. The RFA generally defines "small entity" as having the same meaning as the terms "small business," "small organization," and "small governmental jurisdiction" and "the same meaning as the term 'small business concern' under the Small Business Act unless the Commission has developed one or more definitions that are appropriate for its activities. A small business concern is one which: (1) is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The Small Business Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA) provision of the RFA also applies to nonprofit organizations and to governmental organizations such as governments of cities, counties, towns, townships, villages, school districts, or special districts with populations of less than 50,000. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 601(3), the statutory definition of a small business applies "unless an agency after consultation with the Office of Advocacy of the SBA and after opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more definitions of such term which are appropriate to the activities of the agency and publishes such definition(s) in the Federal Register."
