The Oklahoma Telephone Solicitation Act of 2022, enacted as HB 3168 and effective November 1, 2022, closely mirrors the original Florida FTSA and gives Oklahoma one of the stricter state texting regimes.
Oklahoma Telephone Solicitation Act Requirements
The law requires prior express written consent before making automated or prerecorded sales calls or texts to Oklahoma residents. It restricts commercial solicitation to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., caps contact at three attempts per 24 hours on the same subject, requires accurate caller ID transmission, and prohibits technology that conceals the caller’s identity. Exemptions cover isolated transactions, certain nonprofits, and religious, charitable, political, and educational solicitations.
Private Right of Action and Class Exposure
Like Florida’s statute, the Act carries a private right of action with 500 dollars per violation, trebled up to 1,500 dollars for knowing or willful violations, which makes it attractive to class action plaintiffs. Businesses running SMS campaigns should apply their Florida-grade consent and quiet-hours controls to Oklahoma numbers as well: documented written opt-in, strict send-window scheduling, frequency caps, and immediate opt-out processing are the practical baseline for any list that includes Oklahoma area codes.
