Andrew Perrong v. Matthew Bradford
The court in Andrew Perrong v. Matthew Bradford addresses whether the TCPA's robocall prohibition applies to political calls, potentially narrowing the definition of autodialer and affecting consent requirements for all telemarketing calls.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Telemarketing & TCPA Compliance space on July 7, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated High urgency. Contact centers, lead-gen/affiliates, SMS marketers, debt/insurance dialers should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Before final ruling or within 30 days to prepare for compliance changes.. Acting after that point can mean penalties, a lapsed licence, or lost eligibility — exactly the kind of surprise Aforeworn exists to prevent. Aforeworn monitors Telemarketing & TCPA Compliance continuously and turns every detected change into a plain-English briefing like this one, so you always know first. Forewarned is forearmed.
What changed
The court may rule that calls using a predictive dialer without random or sequential number generation are not autodialers, reducing TCPA liability for certain calls. This could also impact the definition of prior express consent and one-to-one consent rules.
Who it affects
Contact centers, lead-gen/affiliates, SMS marketers, debt/insurance dialers
What you must do
Review current dialing systems to determine if they rely on predictive dialers that do not generate numbers randomly or sequentially. Update consent practices to align with potential new autodialer definition.
Deadline
Before final ruling or within 30 days to prepare for compliance changes.
