Dec. 17, 2013 –NAFCU's "New Telephone Consumer Protection Act Rules" webcast, originally scheduled for today, has been rescheduled for Jan. 7 at 2 p.m. Eastern.

Credit unions with a 2013 or 2014 webcast subscription will have access to this webcast.

The webcast will address regulatory changes to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which went into effect Oct. 16 after the Federal Communications Commission amended the act last year to further restrict telemarketing calls to mobile phones.

Marc Darnell, an attorney specializing in commercial litigation, will lead the webcast. He will discuss the prior written consent requirement, specifics of what constitutes a prior written consent, elimination of the established business relationship exemption and specific language that must be used in the consent agreement.

Key takeaways for credit union attendees include:

• an understanding of the new prior written consent requirement;
• what constitutes prior written consent and language that must be used in the consent agreement; and
• why the established business relationship exemption was eliminated.

NAFCU's on-demand webcasts are available for up to 12 months after the live broadcast and are included in the registration fee.
