SUMMARY

 

Senate Joint Memorial 4 requests that the Attorney General undertake a study of both the telemarketing practices in New Mexico and the mechanisms put in place by other states to protect their residents’ expectation of privacy in the home. The Attorney General shall solicit input from New Mexico residents on this issue.  The Attorney General shall present the findings and recommendations from the study to the appropriate interim committee during the 2002 legislative interim. 

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The agency reports no known fiscal implications.

 

ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS

 

Passage would require the short-term commitment of agency resources to comply with the request to complete the study and report to the appropriate interim committee.  No additional FTEs will be required.

 

The agency reports that currently the number of states that have enacted “do not call” laws is 29, not 28.
