FCC Issues Order Staying Major Parts of TCPA Revocation Rule
Days before the new TCPA revocation rules were set to take full effect, the FCC issued an order that partially delayed many of the most troubling aspects of the order.
The FCC issued a ruling staying the most problematic parts of the TCPA revocation rule for one year. Most notably, the scope of revocation ruling that would have required a caller to stop calling across all channels and for all purposes in response to a single “stop” request from a consumer has been stayed for one year.
Delayed Until April 11, 2026
The FCC has postponed enforcement of the most complex part of the revocation update known as the “reasonable methods” provision (47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(10)).
That means businesses have an extra year to prepare for rules requiring:
- Acceptance of any reasonable opt-out (even loosely worded messages)
- Cross-system and cross-department coordination of revocation requests
- Disclosures about opt-out limitations in every text
- Processing revocations across the enterprise within 10 business days
Still Going Into Effect on April 11, 2025:
Other updates from the FCC’s 2024 Order are still mandatory starting this Friday, including (47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(9)(i)(F) and (d)(3)):
- Adding clear opt-out instructions in every marketing text;
- Honoring internal Do Not Call (DNC) requests within 10 business days
