Louisiana has declared an emergency that prohibits unsolicited telemarketing calls into the state effective 8:30 AM PT today. We will notify you once the prohibition has been lifted.

Current Status: Mandatory EOC Presence - All Telephonic Solicitation Prohibited

In response to the state declaration of emergency in preparation for Tropical Storm/Hurricane Laura and Tropical Depression 14/Tropical Storm/Hurricane Marco, the Louisiana Public Service Commission has been required to report to the Emergency Operations Center ("GOHSEP"), and a mandatory prohibition on solicitation has been ordered. At this time, all telephonic solicitations into the state are prohibited under the general provisions of the LPSC Do Not Call Program General Order except as specifically allowed by R. S. 45:844.31. Should the Commission subsequently be released from reporting to the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, a revised notice will be sent.

The state of emergency, 108 JBE 2020, extends from August 21, 2020, through September 20, 2020, unless terminated sooner. The prohibition of telephonic solicitations will remain in effect until the EOC releases the LPSC from this mandatory reporting status.
