Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (R) signed H.B. 4314 into law as Public Act 58 of 2011 on June 14.
An interesting provision of this new law forbids any "person who obtains an unpublished telephone number using a telephone caller identification service" from doing "any of the following without the written consent of the customer of the unpublished telephone number: (a) Disclose the unpublished telephone number to another person for commercial gain" or "(b) Use the unpublished telephone number to solicit business."
This could be of impact to telephone sampling, if sample providers use such methods to create or improve their databases.
