The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on Jan. 24, 2025, that its highly anticipated one-to-one consent rule was postponed by at least one year. This is big news for companies that were gearing up for the implementation of the rule, which would have significantly altered the requirements for obtaining consent to place calls or text messages under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
Companies should keep an eye on another FCC rule that will change the requirements regarding consumers’ ability to revoke consent, scheduled to take effect on April 11, 2025. Meanwhile the U.S. Supreme Court will decide to what extent courts must defer to the FCC’s interpretation of the TCPA.
Read on to learn how ongoing changes in the regulatory landscape for the TCPA stress the importance of reviewing and prioritizing TCPA compliance in 2025.
