Missouri Debates Do-Not-Mail Legislation
Missouri is the latest state to introduce a do-not-mail bill, joining New York and Illinois. Missouri's bill, HB1531, sponsored by state Rep. Trent Skaggs, was reintroduced yesterday. It would set up a registry at the Missouri attorney general's office for people who wish not to receive commercial mail. A similar bill, HB834, died during the last session. The bill would let the attorney general seek an injunction and a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for every violation.
