Arizona

Read a random definition: innocent agent

A quick definition of Arizona:

Arizona has laws that protect people from unwanted emails, phone calls, and faxes. These laws also prohibit sending sexually explicit content to minors and committing computer-related crimes like phishing. Violating these laws can result in fines or even jail time. The State of Arizona's Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division provides additional resources for people who want to learn more about these laws.

A more thorough explanation:

Arizona has several laws in place to regulate electronic communications and prevent spam, telemarketing, and other forms of unwanted solicitation. These laws include:

  • Commercial Email and Spam: The Commercial Electronic Mail Law of 2003 prohibits the sending of unsolicited commercial emails and constitutes a class 2 misdemeanor if violated.
  • Telemarketing and Telephonic Anti-Solicitation: The Telephone Solicitations Law of 1989 regulates telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation and was amended in 2012 by Arizona H.B. 2825.
  • Faxes, Texts and Other Media Anti-Solicitation: The Unsolicited Commercial Fax Law of 2003 prohibits the sending of unsolicited commercial faxes.
  • Unlawful Trade Practices: The Arizona Consumer Fraud Act of 1967 prohibits deceptive and unfair trade practices.
  • Pornography: Arizona law prohibits sending sexually-explicit emails to minors and makes it an offense for juveniles to send sexually-explicit images of a minor by means of an electronic communications device.
  • Computer-Related Crime: Violations of the Commercial Electronic Mail Law of 2003 and the Internet Representations Law of 2005 constitute misdemeanors and felonies, respectively.

For example, if a company sends unsolicited commercial emails to Arizona residents, they would be violating the Commercial Electronic Mail Law of 2003 and could face a class 2 misdemeanor charge. Similarly, if an individual receives a telemarketing call despite being on the National Do Not Call Registry, the Telephone Solicitations Law of 1989 would be violated. These laws aim to protect Arizona residents from unwanted and potentially harmful electronic communications.
