States like New York are already taking bold steps to address one of the most common modern nuisances, and Montana is not be far behind in adopting this practical safeguard.

Imagine a world where you don’t have to second-guess every unexpected phone call. It sounds like a small change, but it’s one that could have a significant impact on your daily life.

Whether you're sipping a cup of coffee, working out in the land, or enjoying a quiet evening, this initiative is about giving you peace of mind and protecting your personal information.

Other states have already started embracing this straightforward approach, designed to curb confusion, enhance transparency, and stop deceptive practices in their tracks. The results have been overwhelmingly positive, with consumer advocates and lawmakers alike praising the shift toward greater accountability.

This law goes far beyond just being a minor tweak. It’s a step toward creating a safer, more transparent environment for all of us. As progress continues, it’s easy to see why Montana—and eventually, the entire country—might get on board with such a common-sense measure.

So, what’s the big idea? Starting in January 2025, states like New York have implemented a law requiring telemarketers to disclose the purpose of their call, the name of their company, and their address within the first 30 seconds. The rule ensures consumers know exactly who they’re dealing with and why, empowering them to make informed decisions and avoid potential scams.

Let’s hope Montana follows suit soon. After all, in the Big Sky State, we believe in protecting what matters most—and that includes our peace of mind.
