Plain-English summary
Telemarketing Victims Protection Act - Amends the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act to require the Federal Trade Commission to include in rules respecting abusive telemarketing acts or practices requirements that telemarketers: (1) notify consumers who are called that they have the right to be placed on either the Direct Marketing Association's or the appropriate State's do-not-call list; (2) notify the Association or State if a consumer elects to be placed on such a list; (3) obtain and reconcile such lists on a regular basis; (4) not make any calls during the hours of 5 to 7 p.m.; and (5) not block the identity of the telephone from which they are making a telemarketing call. Directs the Commission to study and report on violations of such Act, especially repeated violations by a single telemarketer, and of provisions for penalizing violators.
