>>I'm salivating over a new bill here in Utah that has passed the legislature and is waiting for the governor to sign, and he probably will, as he is extremely tech savy. The bill will require spammers to put in the subject of the email that it is an advertisement and a commercial solicitation. They must also have very clear instructions for removing your name from their email list...and those instructions must work. Penalties are up to $25,000 per incident. The way the bill is worded, any company in the US will have to follow these rules if sending spam to any Utah resident or company. I can't wait.

>My bill will be to restrict that at all. The same would go for sollicitation by phone, especially those companies that dial in sequence in order to catch private numbers.

Automated phone messages are alread illegal in Utah. And there is a federal law that if I request my number be removed from calling lists, it must be removed forever.
