A quick definition of Wisconsin:
Wisconsin: Wisconsin has laws that protect people from unwanted phone calls and faxes. Telemarketers and solicitors are not allowed to call people who have put their phone numbers on the state's Do Not Call list. If someone does call you and you don't want them to, you can report them to the state. The state also has laws against sending unsolicited faxes. Additionally, it is illegal to produce or distribute pornography in Wisconsin.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Wisconsin has laws in place to regulate telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation, fax anti-solicitation, and pornography. These laws include:
