(1) The use of telephones for
commercial solicitation is rapidly increasing. This form of communication
offers unique benefits, but also entails special risks and the potential for
abuse. Many Idaho residents and businesses have lost money or suffered harm
primarily as a result of out-of-state telemarketing abuse. For the general
welfare of the public and in order to protect the integrity of the
telemarketing industry, the following provisions of law are deemed necessary.
(2) It is the intent of the legislature in enacting this chapter to
safeguard the public against deceit and financial hardship, to insure, foster
and encourage competition and fair dealings among telephone solicitors by
requiring adequate disclosure, and to prohibit representations that have the
capacity, tendency, or effect of misleading a purchaser. The provisions of
this chapter are remedial, and shall be construed and applied liberally to
accomplish the above-stated purposes.
(3) This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Idaho Telephone
Solicitation Act."
