establishment and maintenance of the list or by using the national do-not-call registry
established and maintained by the federal trade commission under title 16, Code of

establishment, distribution, and operation of the do-not-call list, as the attorney general
deems necessary and appropriate to fully implement the provisions of this chapter, in
addition to the following provisions:
a. Any subscriber may contact the attorney general or the attorney general's agent
and give notice, in the manner prescribed by the attorney general, that the
subscriber objects to receiving telephone solicitations. The attorney general shall
add the telephone number of any subscriber who gives notice of objection to the
list maintained pursuant to this section.
b. Any notice given by a subscriber under this section is effective for five years
unless revoked by the subscriber. Any subsequent notices given by the same
subscriber related to a different telephone number are separate from the original
notice.
c. The attorney general shall allow subscribers to give notice under this section by
mail, telephone, or electronically.
d. The attorney general shall establish the procedures by which a person wishing to
make telephone solicitations may obtain access to the list. To the extent
practicable, those procedures shall allow for access to paper or electronic copies
of the list.
e. The attorney general may include in the list established under this section
subscribers who live in North Dakota and are included in the national do-not-call
registry established and maintained by the federal trade commission under title
16, Code of Federal Regulations, part 310. The attorney general may provide to
the federal trade commission the telephone numbers of North Dakota subscribers
who are in the attorney general's do-not-call list or who have otherwise notified
the attorney general of the subscriber's objection to receiving telephone
solicitations for inclusion in the national do-not-call registry.
f. A person or entity desiring to make telephone solicitations shall pay a fee,
payable to the attorney general, for access to, or for paper or electronic copies of,
the list established under section 51-28-09. The fee for acquisition of the list may
not exceed two hundred dollars per quarter, or eight hundred dollars per year.

designate the national do-not-call registry established and maintained by the federal
trade commission under title 16, Code of Federal Regulations, part 61, as the state
do-not-call list.
