Unsolicited Fax Advertising and Unsolicited Commercial Email

RI Fax and Email Advertising Law
active

Requires senders of unsolicited advertising faxes and unsolicited commercial emails to give recipients a toll-free number (or, for email, a working reply address) to stop further messages, and to honor those requests. It also prohibits commercial emails that spoof a third party's domain name or falsify the message's origin or transmission path. Federal CAN-SPAM likely preempts parts of the email section; see unverified.
