Two laws protect Connecticut residents

A federal law covers everyone — and Connecticut’s own rules can add to it.

Federal law

The TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.

  • Protects everyone in Connecticut, no matter the state rules.
  • Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
  • $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
  • You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
Connecticut law

Connecticut telemarketing law, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-288a

How Connecticut adds to your protection.

  • Calling hours: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (since Oct. 1, 2023).
  • Do Not Call: Yes, state list (mirrors the national registry).
  • Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.

How the law works in Connecticut

If you live in Connecticut, the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects you from unwanted robocalls and texts. The TCPA is a federal law that restricts auto-dialed calls, prerecorded or “robo” voice messages, and telemarketing texts sent without your permission. When a company breaks this law, you can recover $500 to $1,500 for every illegal call or text. Because the penalty applies per call, the amounts stack quickly when a caller hits you again and again.

Connecticut also has a strong state law, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-288a, which was tightened in 2023. In plain terms: telephonic sales calls are now limited to between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. (effective October 1, 2023), callers must identify themselves and their purpose within the first ten seconds, and they generally need your prior written consent before marketing to a cell phone. Connecticut maintains its own “no sales solicitation calls” listing, which mirrors the National Do Not Call Registry, so adding your number tells legitimate telemarketers to stop. Violations can carry state penalties of up to $20,000 each.

Connecticut robocall FAQs

Can I sue for robocalls in Connecticut?

Yes. Under the federal TCPA, Connecticut residents can sue for illegal robocalls and telemarketing texts and recover $500 to $1,500 per call or text. Because the penalty applies to each individual call, the total can grow quickly when a company contacts you repeatedly. A free case review will tell you whether your calls qualify.

Does Connecticut have its own telemarketing law?

Yes, and it is strict. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-288a sets calling hours, requires callers to identify themselves quickly, generally requires written consent to market to cell phones, and maintains a state “no sales solicitation calls” listing that mirrors the National Do Not Call Registry. State penalties can reach $20,000 per violation. These protections work alongside the federal TCPA.

What are Connecticut’s calling hours?

Since October 1, 2023, telephonic sales calls in Connecticut are limited to between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. A call that reaches you outside those hours may be one sign that the caller is breaking the rules.

Do I need a Connecticut lawyer for a robocall case?

Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law that protects consumers across the country, so your claim does not depend on where your attorney is licensed. Max Morgan, Esq. is licensed in Pennsylvania and works with local counsel in Connecticut when a case calls for it. Your review is free and you pay no fee unless you recover.
