Holidays: 'holidays' - the rule does not define the term; compliance surveys read it as Alabama state legal holidays (Readymode/Roth Jackson list includes New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Confederate Memorial Day, Memorial Day, Jefferson Davis Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Christmas, among others)

Rule text: 'No solicitation calls are allowed on Sundays or holidays. On the days that calls are allowed, none will be placed prior to 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.' - stated identically for automated and live calls. Automated calls additionally: no sequential dialing, 10-second disconnect, identify caller within 20 seconds, PSC registration. Texts are not mentioned; SMS set to the voice window because coverage is unclear. The Alabama Telemarketing Act (Ala. Code § 8-19A) and Telephone Solicitation Act (§ 8-19C) have no hours of their own. CONFLICT: TCPA Guide (tcpaguide.org) and LeadCompliant list Alabama as federal 8am-9pm with Sundays allowed; this is contradicted by the rule text, so the stricter window is used. Readymode/Roth Jackson (Dec 2023) and Kixie (Aug 2026, 'checked regulation') agree with the rule.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. The Alaska Department of Law states 'A telemarketer may only call between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.', which matches federal. CONFLICT NOT ADOPTED: TCPA Guide (tcpaguide.org/calling-hours and /states/alaska/ai-voice) claims 9am-9pm, citing Alaska Stat. § 45.50.475. That statute contains no time-of-day restriction, and the state's own Department of Law says 8am. If you want strict-literal 'stricter source wins', use 09:00 starts. AI VOICE RISK: AS 45.50.475 makes it an unfair practice to originate a call using an automated or recorded message as a telephonic advertisement or solicitation. An AI-voice sales call to Alaska may be barred outright, regardless of hours; exemptions to that ban were not reviewed.

Territory law was not researched; only the federal rule is applied.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. § 44-1278 contains no time restriction. Readymode/Roth Jackson (Dec 2023) lists only states stricter than federal and omits Arizona; Kixie (Aug 2026) and LeadCompliant (Jul 2026) show the federal baseline. HB 2498 (2023) extended Arizona's do-not-call prohibition to text messages but added no hours. Only § 44-1278 was read in full, not every section of Article 6, hence medium.

State rule mirrors federal. Arkansas has no hours stated in its own words; the 8am-9pm limit comes in by incorporating FTC TSR § 310.4 (§ 4-99-405(3)). The ALFA International 2025 compendium confirms: 'Do not call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.' The definition covers a 'call or message', so texts are plausibly covered; the window is the same either way. AI VOICE RISK: Ark. Code § 5-63-204 makes it a Class D felony to use an automated system that selects and dials numbers AND plays recorded messages to offer goods or services for sale. The exceptions in the current text are narrow: delivery or order-status messages, and systems responding to calls the recipient initiated. An AI-voice sales call may be barred outright.

ADAD rule is stricter than federal on the start time, so VOICE is 9am-9pm. SMS stays federal because the ADAD article is about disseminating prerecorded voice messages and does not reach texts. UNCERTAIN: whether a live-generated, interactive AI voice is a 'prerecorded message' under § 2871 is untested; the Assembly analysis of AB 2905 says ADADs 'by definition' disseminate prerecorded messages. The 9am start is applied conservatively. AB 2905 (2024) now requires the mandatory unrecorded natural-voice announcement (§ 2874) to disclose when the message uses an artificial / AI-generated voice. CONFLICT (explained, not a real disagreement): Readymode, Kixie and LeadCompliant list California as federal because they cover only general telemarketing hours and exclude ADAD rules. terms.law, an attorney-maintained page, states 9am-9pm but cites § 2875; the operative section is § 2872(c).

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. §§ 6-1-302, 6-1-304 and 6-1-905 contain no time-of-day restriction. The ALFA 2025 compendium mentions none, and Readymode/Roth Jackson omits Colorado. CONFLICT NOT ADOPTED: LeadCompliant (Jul 2026) lists Colorado with a 9am start, citing C.R.S. § 6-1-302. That section is definitions only and contains no hours. If you want strict-literal 'stricter source wins', use 09:00 starts.

Statute text: calls 'shall be limited to being conducted between the hours of nine o'clock a.m. and eight o'clock p.m. local time.' There is no separate ADAD window: automated, recorded, soundboard and text all fall under the same definition and window. There is no Sunday or holiday rule. The 2023 amendments (SB 1058 / P.A. 23-98) added text/OTT coverage, the prior-express-written-consent requirement and the 9am-8pm window. Minor conflict: LeadCompliant lists 9am-9pm; the stricter 8pm end from the statute is used. Readymode/Roth Jackson, ClickPoint (Aug 2026), Kixie (Aug 2026) and ALFA 2025 all state 9am-8pm.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. The official Delaware Code (delcode) and FindLaw (current to Jan. 1, 2026) both show no 'local time' / 8am / 9pm language anywhere in chapter 25A. Two Delaware bill documents contained 'Engage in telemarketing to a person's residence at any time other than between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time': SB 41 (141st GA, 2001) and SB 23 (142nd GA). That language does not appear in the current code. Even if it were in force it would equal federal, so the table is unaffected.

State rule mirrors federal: 8am-9pm at the consumer's location. AI VOICE RISK (more important than hours): D.C. Code § 34-1701 bans using an automated dialing system that conveys a 'prerecorded or synthesized voice message' for the sole purpose of soliciting the purchase or lease of consumer goods, services or real property, or for related surveys. It does not apply to government emergency calls or to a preexisting business relationship concerning goods or services previously ordered or purchased. An AI-voice sales call to a DC number without such a relationship may be prohibited outright. Fines are up to $1,000, then $5,000.

Sales limit: 3 sales calls or texts to one person in 24 hours

The 2021 amendment (SB 1120, eff. July 1, 2021) moved the end time from 9pm to 8pm. § 501.616(6)(b) also caps calls at 3 per 24 hours on the same subject. TEXTS: § 501.616 does not mention texts and § 501.603 speaks of 'telephone call[s]'. The FTSA (§ 501.059) expressly covers 'a telephone call, text message, or voicemail transmission' but contains no hours. ALFA 2025 and industry surveys apply the 8pm limit to texts; SMS is set to the voice window because coverage is unclear. HB 761 (2023) narrowed the FTSA autodialer definition and added a 15-day text opt-out safe harbor, but did not change hours. CONFLICT: Kixie (Aug 2026) and LeadCompliant (Jul 2026) show 8am-9pm, which is contradicted by the 2026 Florida Statutes text ('8 p.m.'); the stricter window is used. Jones Day attributes the change to § 501.059, but the operative hours provision is § 501.616(6).

State ADAD rule mirrors federal (8am-9pm), so the voice window equals federal. § 46-5-23 also imposes PSC permit and consent requirements on ADAD use and bars calls to unlisted numbers, hospitals, nursing homes and emergency agencies; verify these before AI-voice outbound calling. Georgia's mini-TCPA / no-call provision (O.C.G.A. § 46-5-27) has no hours. Readymode/Roth Jackson and Kixie list Georgia as federal.

Territory law was not researched; only the federal rule is applied.

State rule mirrors federal: 8am-9pm, Hawaii local time. There is no Hawaii ADAD statute with stricter hours; ALFA notes Hawaii's telemarketing statute makes no reference to autodialers or prerecorded voices. Mind Hawaii-Aleutian time (UTC-10, no DST) when computing windows from the mainland.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. The ALFA 2025 compendium: the ITSA 'does not prohibit solicitation based on time of day'. AI VOICE: § 48-1003C defines an ADAD as a device that selects and dials numbers and disseminates a 'prerecorded or synthesized voice message'. The caller must disclose, at the outset of the message, who the call is for, its purpose, and the caller's contact information. There is no hours limit.

VOICE uses the stricter autodialer window (9am start) because our voice calls are dialed by software and play a synthetic voice. UNCERTAIN: § 305/5 defines 'recorded message' as 'any taped communication soliciting the sale of goods or services without live voice interaction', and whether an interactive AI voice counts is untested; the 9am start is applied conservatively. SMS uses 413/15, which equals federal, because the autodialer rule requires a recorded voice message and does not reach texts. The ALFA 2025 compendium confirms the autodialer 9pm-9am restriction. CONFLICT: Readymode/Roth Jackson (Dec 2023) shows 8am-9pm Mon-Fri and Sun but 9am-9pm Sat, which looks like a data-entry error. ClickPoint (Aug 2026) shows 9am-9pm every day. Kixie, LeadCompliant and TCPA Guide show federal. The stricter 9am is used for voice.

VOICE uses the ADAD window (9am-8pm); SMS is federal because the ADAD chapter covers voice messages only. Indiana's Telephone Solicitation of Consumers Act (IC 24-4.7) covers texts for do-not-call but has no hours (§ 24-4.7-4-7 checked). The ADAD definition expressly includes a 'synthesized voice', so AI voice is squarely covered. The Indiana AG FAQ (2016) confirms the time-of-day section applies to commercial robocalls. It also says consent must be obtained before the call or by a LIVE operator at the outset (State v. Economic Freedom Fund, 959 N.E.2d 794 (Ind. 2011)), so an AI agent cannot obtain the consent in-call. The FAQ is dated 2016; the § 5(a)/(b) labels come from it. The hours come from statute text current to Jan. 1, 2026; no survey states the 9am-8pm ADAD window, because Readymode, Kixie and LeadCompliant omit ADAD rules, hence medium. CONFLICT NOT ADOPTED: TCPA Guide says Indiana prohibits Sunday calls, citing 'IC § 24-4-5-14', which does not exist as cited; no Sunday ban was found in IC 24-4.7 or 24-5-14.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. Iowa Legal Aid (updated June 2025): 'A telemarketer cannot call you before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.', attributed to Iowa and FTC rules. The ALFA 2025 compendium notes Iowa lacks its own TCPA equivalent. CONFLICT NOT ADOPTED: LeadCompliant (Jul 2026) lists a 9am start citing 'Iowa Code § 476.16A'; that section was not found on legis.iowa.gov (404). TCPA Guide cites Iowa Code § 476.103, which is about unauthorized changes in telecom service and has no hours (2026 code text read). If you want strict-literal 'stricter source wins', use 09:00 starts.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. The full text of K.S.A. 50-670 on ksrevisor.gov contains no 'a.m.', 'p.m.', 'hours' or 'time' language. The ALFA 2025 compendium mentions no hours, and Readymode/Roth Jackson omits Kansas. AI VOICE RISK: K.S.A. 50-670(b)(6) - a call answered by an automated dialing-announcing device must give only the caller's identity and the business, and 'shall not contain any unsolicited advertisement'. An AI-voice sales pitch on an unsolicited call conflicts with that. Callers must also disconnect within 25 seconds after the called party hangs up.

10am start is the latest in the country (Enzo, leadgen-economy, ClickPoint and ALFA all agree with the statute text). The official LRC text shows it last amended 2019 Ky. Acts ch. 105. ADAD rule: KRS 367.461 limits automated calling equipment (dials numbers and delivers recorded messages) to 8am-9pm. That is LESS strict than 10am, so the 10am-9pm window governs voice. KRS 367.46955(18) separately bars artificial/prerecorded-voice solicitations to residential phones without prior express consent. Texts: the definition ('live or recorded communication sent by a telephone ... to a residential, mobile, or telephone paging device telephone number') does not mention texts, though leadgen-economy says texts are covered, so this is unclear and SMS uses the voice window. The hours text says 'to a person's residence'; apply it to KY mobile numbers too, to be safe. Conflict: the LeadCompliant cheat sheet lists Kentucky as the federal 8am-9pm floor, which the statute text contradicts, so it was not adopted.

Holidays: Louisiana state legal holidays: 'days declared to be a state holiday' (La. R.S. 45:811) and 'Legal Holidays' (LPSC General Order R-29617). Louisiana's list differs from the federal one; leadgen-economy cites Mardi Gras, Good Friday and election days. Keep a Louisiana-specific calendar.

8am-8pm Mon-Sat, no Sundays, no legal holidays. It appears both in the LPSC General Order (all residential telephonic solicitation) and in La. R.S. 45:811 (automatic dialing / recorded-message equipment, which is how an AI voice will likely be treated). Texts: 45:844.12 defines 'telephonic solicitation' as a 'voice or data communication', so texts are covered. Also: during a governor-declared state of emergency, telephonic solicitation is barred (La. R.S. 45:844.31; General Order §V(A)(3)); this is not modeled in the window. Conflict: the LeadCompliant cheat sheet and a tcpaguide.org search snippet say Louisiana follows federal 8am-9pm. Both are contradicted by the General Order and 45:811 text, so the stricter window was adopted.

ADAD rule drives the VOICE window. Automated solicitation calls are allowed only on weekdays 9am-5pm (Maine time), with at most one solicitation call per number in any 8-hour period, device disconnect within 5 seconds, and caller identification within the first minute. §1498(6) (as amended by PL 2019 c.185) speaks of 'an automated telephone calling device or an artificial or prerecorded voice', so an AI voice should be treated as covered. LIVE human calls: no state hours rule, so federal 8am-9pm applies. SMS: §1498 covers recorded messages and faxes, not texts. §1499-A's 'telemarketing' definition includes text messaging but sets no hours, so SMS uses the federal window. Conflict: the LeadCompliant cheat sheet cites '32 M.R.S. §14713' for a Sunday window ending 5pm. This could not be verified and is inconsistent with the Title 10 text; not adopted (the voice window above already bars weekends). Enzo and leadgen-economy both report weekdays 9am-5pm for automated calls.

Sales limit: 3 sales calls or texts to one person in 24 hours

8am-8pm every day, called party's time zone, plus a cap of 3 solicitations to the same called party per 24 hours on the same subject. Automated-dialing or recorded-message solicitations also require prior express written consent (§14-4502(a)(3)); the §14-4501(d) consent definition expressly covers 'a recorded or artificial voice message'. Texts: the consent definition contemplates solicitations 'by telephone call, text message, or voicemail', and Kelley Drye (Feb. 2, 2024) reads 'communicate by telephone' as including texts. Pub. Util. §8-205 itself is silent, but texts are treated as covered. Minor disagreement: leadgen-economy cites the older Maryland TCPA (§14-3201) but gives the same 8am-8pm window; the LeadCompliant cheat sheet lists the federal floor (outdated). Neither changes the result.

Unsolicited sales calls may not be received between 8pm and 8am, local time at the consumer's location. Every source agrees. ADAD: c. 159C §3(iv) bars unsolicited telephonic sales calls 'by use of a recorded message device' OUTRIGHT (no time window). An unsolicited AI-voice sales call is therefore at risk at any hour; solicited/consented and existing-customer calls fall outside §3. Texts: the statute speaks of 'calls' ('marketing or sales solicitation' includes a 'telephone call or message') and does not mention texts, while leadgen-economy says texts are covered. Unclear, so SMS uses the 8am-8pm window.

Sources conflict. The Michigan Attorney General's consumer alert ('Michigan Telemarketing Curfew'), leadgen-economy and ClickPoint treat MCL 750.540e(1)(f) as a 9pm-9am telemarketing curfew. Enzo and LeadCompliant list Michigan as the federal default. The disagreement likely comes from the statute's structure: it sits in the Penal Code's 'malicious use of telecommunications service' section, whose opening requires intent to 'terrorize, frighten, intimidate, threaten, harass, molest, or annoy another person, or to disturb the peace and quiet of another person'. The stricter 9am-9pm window was adopted. Covers calls by 'recording device', so AI voice is within scope. The same AG alert says Michigan's Home Solicitation Sales Act (MCL 445.111 et seq.) bars telephone solicitations consisting 'in whole or in part of a recorded message'. That has no separate hours, but an AI-voice sales call may be barred outright; this was not independently verified against the section text. Texts: 'call' is not defined to include texts, so unclear; SMS uses the 9am-9pm window.

'A caller shall not use an automatic dialing-announcing device nor make any commercial telephone solicitation before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.' (2025 Minnesota Statutes text, unchanged since 1987). The ADAD definition expressly includes a 'prerecorded or synthesized voice message', so an AI voice is squarely covered. ADAD use also requires the subscriber's consent or a live operator who first obtains consent (§325E.27(a)). Texts: 'message' means 'any call'. Madgett Law (Aug. 22, 2026) reads the ADAD prong as not reaching texts (no voice), and no source addresses texts under the solicitation prong, so this is unclear and SMS uses the 9am-9pm window. Conflict: Enzo lists Minnesota as the federal default. The statute text, ALFA, Madgett, leadgen-economy, ClickPoint and LeadCompliant all say 9am-9pm (LeadCompliant mis-cites §325E.311).

Two statutes disagree. §77-3-603(a): 8am-9pm Mon-Sat, no Sundays. §77-3-723(1): 8am-8pm, no Sundays. The stricter 8pm end is adopted; ALFA, leadgen-economy and dnc.com agree. Both say 'Central Standard Time'. Mississippi is entirely on Central time and this table reads it as local time; a hyper-literal CST reading during daylight time would mean 9am-9pm CDT. No source reads it that way; to remove that risk anyway, start at 09:00 local during daylight time (not reflected in the window above). Holidays: ClickPoint still lists 'no calls' on holidays, but that is outdated per dnc.com (June 2024). ADAD: §77-3-723(2) bars using an automated dialing system with a recorded voice message unless there is an established business relationship and the message informs about a new product or service. An AI-voice call to a non-customer is effectively barred at any hour. Texts: §77-3-705(d) defines 'telephone solicitation' as 'any voice or text message communication'. Conflict: the LeadCompliant cheat sheet lists the federal floor; contradicted by statute text.

State window (8am-9pm local time at the called consumer's location) equals the federal rule. 'Telemarketer' expressly includes 'any recorded, computer-generated, electronically generated or other voice communication of any kind', so AI voice is within scope with the same hours; no stricter ADAD window. Texts: ALFA notes Missouri's no-call law (§407.1095 et seq.) does not distinguish calls, faxes and texts, but the hours rule is in the separate telemarketing-practices law, which speaks of telephone calls. Unclear, with no practical effect since the window equals federal. leadgen-economy cites §407.1098 but gives the same window; Enzo and LeadCompliant list the federal default (consistent).

State rule ('any time other than between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. local time at the called person's location') is identical to federal; last amended 2005. Enzo and LeadCompliant describe Montana as the federal default, and leadgen-economy gives 8am-9pm, so the window is consistent. No separate ADAD hours were found. The no-call part (§30-14-1601 et seq.) defines telephone solicitation as a 'voice communication' including ADAD calls, with no hours rule. Texts are not addressed in the Part 14 definitions (telephone calls only).

Holidays: 'legal holidays' — not defined in 291 NAC ch. 11; read as Nebraska state legal holidays

The statutes set 8am-9pm for ADAD calls every day. The Public Service Commission rule (291 NAC ch. 11, 2024 update) is stricter: 8am-9pm Mon-Sat and 1pm-9pm on Sundays and legal holidays, local time of the called party, for both solicitation (003.01) and non-solicitation (004.02) ADAD calls. The stricter rule was adopted for VOICE because an AI voice is treated as artificial and therefore ADAD-like. Whether an AI voice literally 'plays a recorded message' is interpretive, hence medium confidence. telemarketingcompliance.com independently reports 1pm-9pm Sundays/holidays for autodialers. Enzo reports only 8am-9pm for ADAD; leadgen-economy and LeadCompliant list plain 8am-9pm with no Sunday rule, which is less strict and not adopted. Other ADAD duties: a PSC permit to use the device for solicitations (§86-250), messages of 2 minutes or less, script filing, a do-not-call list. §86-244(3) bars ADAD telephone solicitations to cellular/paging numbers. LIVE calls: federal 8am-9pm. SMS: the Act covers recorded voice messages only, so SMS uses the federal window.

The statute text ('Solicits a person by telephone at his or her residence between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m.'; last amended 2021) is stricter than federal at both ends. Sources conflict. Enzo (citing §598.0918(3)) gives 9am-8pm, matching the text. leadgen-economy gives 8am-9pm citing NRS 598.0917. LeadCompliant gives 9am-9pm citing NRS 228.660, which is actually the Office of Military Legal Assistance. Both look wrong; the statute text (also the strictest) was adopted. No hours provisions were found in NRS ch. 228 (no-call), NRS 599B or NAC 599B. Texts: the section's opening covers 'a solicitation by telephone or text message', but subsection 3 says 'by telephone at his or her residence'. Unclear, so SMS uses the 9am-8pm window.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. The full RSA 359-E text (registration, dialer disconnect, identification, caller-ID blocking, do-not-call) contains no time-of-day limit. Enzo and ALFA agree, and ALFA notes the NH law is silent on texts. The LeadCompliant cheat sheet claims 9am-9pm 'per RSA 359-E:3', but §359-E:3 is 'Registration Information' and contains no hours, so this was not adopted.

No unsolicited telemarketing sales calls between 9pm and 8am, local time at the customer's location, which is the same as federal. Noteworthy: N.J.A.C. 13:45D-4.1(a)(3) also bars unsolicited telemarketing sales calls to numbers identified as commercial mobile service (cell) devices. Texts: the definitions speak only of a 'telephone call'. Per ALFA, unsolicited advertising texts are governed separately by N.J.S.A. 2A:65D-1 et seq. (prior authorization; no hours). Unclear, with no practical effect. Pending bill S1030 (2026 session, introduced only) would extend caller-ID rules to texts and restates the same 9pm-8am rule. The subsection letter of 56:8-128 may shift if enacted, so cite the section. Conflict: LeadCompliant claims 9am-9pm 'per N.J.S.A. 56:8-130', contradicted by both the statute and regulation text; not adopted.

Unlawful to make a telephone solicitation 'received before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.' (§57-12-22(B)(5)). Justia and NM OneSource blocked automated retrieval, so the statute was read only via FindLaw. It is corroborated by Enzo (citing §57-12-22(B)(5)) and LeadCompliant (9am-9pm). Conflict: leadgen-economy lists New Mexico as federal-only, contradicted by the statute text. ADAD: §57-12-22(A) restricts automated dialing with prerecorded messages to callers with an established business relationship and consent; no separate hours. No Sunday/holiday rule. SMS: the definition is limited to 'voice or telefacsimile' communications, so texts are not covered and SMS uses the federal window.

Same as federal: 8am-9pm at the customer's location. Texts are expressly included: a 'telemarketing sales call' is 'a telephone call or electronic messaging text'. Prerecorded: per ALFA, §399-z(6) requires an express written agreement before using a prerecorded message. GBL §399-p (automatic dialing-announcing devices) has no hours restriction. Survey sources report 2023 amendments (S.8450-B, eff. Mar. 6, 2023: do-not-call opt-out at the start of calls; S4617: higher fines); neither changed hours. Official nysenate.gov text is JavaScript-rendered, so statute text was read via newyork.public.law.

'No telephone solicitor shall make a telephone solicitation before 8:00 A.M. or after 9:00 P.M.', the same as federal. Texts are expressly covered: §75-101(9) says 'a voice or text communication'. ADAD: §75-104 restricts automatic dialing and recorded-message players for unsolicited calls (exceptions for charities, political calls, government, polling); no separate hours. Pending: H936 (2025-26 session) would apply the 8am-9pm rule to 'robocalls' (artificial or prerecorded voice, including spam texts) and require prior express written consent. As of 6/24/2026 it is in conference committee and NOT enacted; it would not change the window. Enzo and leadgen-economy list the same 8am-9pm window.

Window matches federal (8am-9pm every day); no Sunday or holiday rule. Texts are expressly covered: 'telephone solicitation' means any voice, text or other electronic communication (§ 51-28-01(8)). ADAD rule (§ 51-28-02): a prerecorded or synthesized voice message may be delivered only if the subscriber knowingly requested/consented or a live operator first obtains consent; the ADAD hours in § 51-28-05 are the same 8am-9pm, so no stricter voice window. A synthesized AI voice fits the ADAD definition. One outlier survey (leadcompliant.com) claimed a 9am start citing § 51-28-02; the statute text says 8am, so it was disregarded.

Territory law was not researched; only the federal rule is applied.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. Conflict: leadcompliant.com's cheat sheet claims Ohio requires a 9am start under R.C. § 4719.04 — the official text of § 4719.04 is a surety-bond requirement and § 4719.08 (prohibited acts) has no time-of-day restriction, so that claim was rejected. Enzo (July 2026) and Kixie both list Ohio as federal default. Confidence is medium only because proving the absence of a rule anywhere in Ohio law (e.g., administrative rules) is harder than confirming one.

Sales limit: 3 sales calls or texts to one person in 24 hours

8am-8pm in the called person's time zone, every day; also max 3 commercial solicitation calls to a person per 24 hours on the same subject, from any number. The hours rule expressly includes automated dialing and recorded messages, so no separate ADAD window (automated/recorded sales calls additionally need prior express written consent, § 775C.3(A)). Texts: § 775C.4 speaks of 'phone calls'; the Act's consent definition refers to calls 'by telephone call, text message, or voicemail transmission', and industry sources treat OTSA as covering texts — marked unclear, SMS set to the voice window. No 2023-2026 amendment to the hours was found. Stricter than federal (ends 8pm). Outlier: tcpaguide.org and leadcompliant.com list Oklahoma as 8am-9pm; the enrolled statute says 8pm.

Sales limit: 3 sales calls or texts to one person in 24 hours

NEW for 2026: HB 3865 (the 'Telemarketing Modernization Act', signed July 2025, effective Jan. 1, 2026) made it unlawful to initiate a telephone solicitation outside 8am-8pm or more than 3 times to a party in 24 hours, and extended 'telephone solicitation' to text messages. ADAD rule (ORS 646A.372(5)): a device that disseminates a prerecorded or synthesized voice or text message may call only 8am-8pm (previously 9am-9pm) and no more than 3 times/24h — same window, so no stricter voice window. Before 2026 Oregon's general solicitation statute had no hours rule. Disagreements: (1) an earlier engrossed version of HB 3865 proposed 9am-7pm and one search summary repeated that figure; the ENROLLED text (read directly) says 8am-8pm, and Troutman Pepper Locke's July 31, 2025 article agrees, so 8-8 is used. (2) Enzo's July 2026 table still lists Oregon as federal default 8am-9pm — outdated. A phone number's area code may be relied on to determine an Oregon party. Stricter than federal (ends 8pm).

Holidays: Pennsylvania legal holidays. The Telemarketer Registration Act does not define 'legal holiday'; the general list at 44 P.S. § 11 is New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (3rd Mon Jan), Presidents' Day (3rd Mon Feb), Good Friday, Memorial Day, Flag Day (June 14), Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day, Columbus Day (2nd Mon Oct), Election Day (Tuesday after the first Monday in November), Veterans' Day (Nov 11), Thanksgiving, Christmas, plus days proclaimed by the Governor or President. Juneteenth is not in § 11 as codified.

MAJOR 2026 CHANGE, NOT YET IN FORCE ON 2026-09-14. Act 47 of 2026 (SB 992) amends § 5(a)(1) to prohibit 'initiating or causing to be initiated a telephone solicitation on a Sunday or after 7 p.m. or before 9 a.m.'; § 5(a)(10) keeps the ban on solicitations on a legal holiday; § 5(a)(11) bans robocalls (automated dialing delivering prerecorded or ARTIFICIAL voice calls or messages) without prior express written consent. The act says it 'shall take effect in 90 days' from July 20, 2026: Kelley Drye and WBK give October 18, 2026, Troutman Pepper Locke gives October 19, 2026 — treat Oct 18 as the safe start. This table uses the stricter new rule. UNTIL then the prior law applies: 8am-9pm every day ('conducting telemarketing after 9 p.m. or before 8 a.m.') plus the legal-holiday ban added in 2019; the old 'telephone solicitation call' definition likewise excluded express requests and 12-month EBR calls. Texts: the new definition expressly includes text messages, voicemail and ringless voicemail, and the law firm write-ups say no calls/texts on Sundays. No separate ADAD hours — robocalls follow the same window but also need PEWC. Ambiguity: 44 P.S. § 11 also calls Saturday afternoon a 'half holiday'; no source reads the telemarketing holiday ban to reach Saturday afternoons, so it is not applied here. Stricter than federal: 9am start, 7pm end, no Sundays, no legal holidays.

Territory law was not researched; only the federal rule is applied.

Holidays: State or federal holidays. RI legal holidays (R.I. Gen. Laws § 25-1-1): New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Rhode Island Independence Day (May 4), Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Victory Day (2nd Monday in August), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Christmas, general-election day in years with state elections, and days appointed by the governor, General Assembly, President or Congress; plus federal holidays (e.g., Thanksgiving, Inauguration Day where applicable).

'Hours of operation' = Monday-Friday (except a state or federal holiday) 9am-6pm; Saturday 10am-5pm; Sunday is not an hour of operation, so no Sunday calls. Strictly read, the holiday carve-out is written into the Mon-Fri clause only, so a holiday falling on a Saturday is not expressly excluded — this table treats every state or federal holiday as prohibited (conservative). ADAD (§ 5-61-3.4): an automatic-dialing-announcing device may be used only with the subscriber's knowing consent or a live-operator introduction that obtains consent; no separate hours, so the general window governs voice. Texts: the word 'text' does not appear in § 5-61-2; coverage unclear, so SMS uses the voice window. Violation is a misdemeanor, up to $500 per violation. Outliers: tcpaguide.org (8am-9pm) and leadcompliant.com (9am-9pm) are contradicted by the statute. Much stricter than federal.

General TPPA window is 8am-9pm, same as federal, and expressly covers texts. The VOICE window is narrowed to 8am-7pm because of the ADAD statute, § 16-17-446(C): ADAD calls that are not prohibited 'are prohibited after seven p.m. or before eight a.m.' (1988 Act No. 656; 1991 Act No. 89). § 16-17-446 defines an ADAD as delivering a 'recorded message without assistance by a live operator'; applying it to a generated AI voice (an FCC 'artificial voice') is a conservative reading, not a settled one — hence medium confidence. Its definition also cross-references § 16-17-445(A)(3), which shows as deleted. The ADAD statute concerns voice messages only, so SMS keeps the TPPA 8am-9pm window. Enzo lists SC as 8am-9pm, which is correct for § 37-21-30 but does not mention the ADAD limit. No Sunday or holiday rule found in either statute.

§ 37-30A-3(2): a telemarketer may not place unsolicited consumer telephone communications to any residence that will be received before 9am or after 9pm at the consumer's local time, or place any on Sunday (amended SL 2020, ch 171). Texts expressly covered ('a consumer telephone call or text'). Statute reads 'to any residence' for the time limit; wireless numbers of residents are treated as covered here (conservative). No separate ADAD hours found. The statute text came from the SD Attorney General's handout reproducing SDCL 37-30A; Justia's 2025 SDCL 37-30A-3 summary matched. Outliers: tcpaguide.org and leadcompliant.com list SD as 8am-9pm with Sundays allowed — contradicted by the statute. Stricter than federal: 9am start, no Sundays.

Window 8am-9pm 'prevailing time' for calls and texts; same as federal. The TPUC rule 1220-04-11-.02(1) has the same 8am-9pm window (local time at the called party). ADAD statute (§ 47-18-1502) imposes disclosure/disconnect requirements but no separate hours. 2026: HB 2408/SB 2659 passed unanimously (transmitted to the Governor May 7, 2026; to apply to conduct on or after July 1, 2026 if signed — signature not confirmed here). It adds semiannual reporting to TPUC for entities making 500+ solicitations/month and a 10,000/month cap; the Troutman Amin summary (May 11, 2026) restates the 8am-9pm calling and texting hours, so no hours change. Discounted source: tcpaguide.org marks Tennessee Sundays 'Prohibited'; no statutory basis was found, and that page is wrong on several verified states (RI, OK, SD, WA, WY), so it was not adopted.

§ 301.051(b)(2): calls only after 9am and before 9pm on a weekday or Saturday, and after 12 noon and before 9pm on Sunday. The ADAD rule, Util. Code § 55.125(a), has the identical window for recorded-message solicitation calls, so no stricter voice window, but it removes the EBR/request exemption for automated voice. Texts: SB 140 (effective Sept. 1, 2025) brought texts/MMS into the ch. 302 registration regime and the DTPA but did not amend ch. 301; Kelley Drye (Aug. 21, 2025) says it 'would be reasonable' to apply the quiet hours to marketing texts via the ch. 304 definition of telephone call. Marked unclear, and SMS uses the voice window. Minor conflicts: Enzo's 2026 mini-TCPA tracker says Texas has 'no general voice-call curfew in the telemarketing chapters' (it is looking at chs. 302/304/305, not 301); leadcompliant.com cites a nonexistent § 302.101 for a 9am start. Stricter than federal: 9am start, noon start on Sunday.

Territory law was not researched; only the federal rule is applied.

Holidays: Utah legal holidays, Utah Code § 63G-1-301: New Year's Day (Jan 1), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (3rd Mon Jan), Washington and Lincoln Day (3rd Mon Feb), Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Freedom Day, Independence Day (July 4), Pioneer Day (July 24), Labor Day, Columbus Day (2nd Mon Oct), Veterans Day (Nov 11), Thanksgiving, Christmas (Dec 25), and days proclaimed by the President or governor as days of fast or thanksgiving. The statute also lists every Sunday, and has weekend-observance adjustment rules.

No telephone solicitation without prior express consent between 9pm and 8am local time, on a Sunday, or on a legal holiday (text confirmed in the 2022 enrolled H.B. 217 and in the Jan. 1, 2025 code version on FindLaw; the Utah law-firm site Allen, Mitchell & Allen agrees). Automated dialing systems may not be used for solicitations except with prior express consent or to an EBR (18 months) — no separate hours. Texts: 'telephone solicitation' means a 'telephone call or message'; texts are not expressly named, so marked unclear and SMS uses the voice window. Conflict: Enzo's calling-hours table (July 2026) lists Utah as 8am-9pm with no Sunday/holiday rule; the statute text is stricter and controls. No 2026 amendment found. Stricter than federal: no Sundays, no legal holidays.

No state-specific hours; federal rule applies. The ALFA International compendium (Ryan Smith & Carbine, 2024) says Vermont's TCPA, 9 V.S.A. § 2464e, is 'coextensive with the federal TCPA' and points to the federal 8am-9pm limit; § 2464a text contains no time or day restriction; Enzo lists Vermont as federal default. Conflict: leadcompliant.com claims a 9am start under '9 V.S.A. § 2464' — not supported by the statute text reviewed, so rejected. § 2464e itself was not read directly, only as described by ALFA, hence medium confidence.

8am-9pm local time at the contacted person's location, every day; same as federal. The 2025 amendments (effective Jan. 1, 2026) make explicit that the VTPPA covers text messages as well as calls, add abandoned-call rules (§ 59.1-513.1), and allow only 'STOP' or 'UNSUBSCRIBE' as text opt-outs (Squire Patton Boggs, Jan. 15, 2026). Damages $500 / $1,000 / $5,000 tiers. No separate ADAD hours and no Sunday or holiday rule found.

RCW 80.36.390: a telephone solicitor may not place calls that will be received before 8am or after 8pm at the recipient's local time. IMPORTANT for AI voice: RCW 80.36.400 flatly prohibits using an automatic dialing and announcing device — which dials automatically and transmits a 'recorded or artificial voice message' — for commercial solicitation. There is no ADAD hours window because automated-voice sales calls are banned outright, so an AI-voice sales call to WA is likely unlawful at any hour. Texts: since 2023 'telephone call' means any communication through a telephone using a live person, artificial voice or recorded message; texts are not named. Commercial texts are separately restricted under RCW 19.190 (not reviewed here). Marked unclear, and SMS uses the voice window. Pending: HB 1103 (2025-26), which would amend RCW 80.36.390 and 19.190 for cellular calls and texts, was still in House committee as of 2026-09-14. Stricter than federal (ends 8pm). Outliers: tcpaguide.org and leadcompliant.com list WA as 8am-9pm — contradicted by the statute.

It is an abusive telemarketing act to engage in telemarketing to a person's residence 'at any time other than between eight a.m. and nine p.m. local time, Monday through Sunday, at the called person's location' — same as federal. No Sunday or holiday carve-out. Private right of action under § 46A-6F-701 ($100-$3,000 per violation). Texts are not addressed in the provision reviewed, so SMS uses the voice window (identical to federal anyway). No separate ADAD hours found.

8am-9pm, with time measured at the place where the consumer resides; same as federal. Texts: the definition is built around telephone and 'interactive electronic voice communications', which arguably excludes SMS, but 'by telephone' is not clearly limited to voice — marked unclear, and SMS uses the same 8am-9pm window (identical to federal regardless). No Sunday, holiday or separate ADAD hours rule found. Enzo cites the same rule (ATCP 127.16(3)).

§ 40-12-302(d): no unsolicited telephonic sales call to a consumer before 8am or after 8pm local time at the consumer's location. Stricter than federal (ends 8pm). Texts are not mentioned in §§ 40-12-301/302, so SMS uses the voice window. No Sunday, holiday or separate ADAD hours rule found. Minor disagreement on the small-caller exemption threshold: FindLaw's statute text says fewer than 225 unsolicited calls a year, while the ALFA 2025 compendium says 250 — this does not affect the window. ALFA phrases the window as Mountain Standard Time, but the statute uses local time at the consumer's location. Outliers: tcpaguide.org and leadcompliant.com list WY as 8am-9pm — contradicted by the statute.
