TRENTON – A measure by Senators Paul A. Sarlo and Joseph Coniglio to prohibit the use of fax machines to transmit unsolicited advertisements received Senate approval today.

“Today we continue our fight to eliminate the nuisance of unwanted advertisements and solicitations,” said Senator Sarlo, D-Bergen. “With the Do Not Call registry we empowered the public to free themselves of telemarketers, and now we are one step closer to having our fax machines off limits as well. We are committed to staying one step ahead of spammers.”

TRENTON – A measure by Senators Paul A. Sarlo and Joseph Coniglio to prohibit the use of fax machines to transmit unsolicited advertisements received committee approval today.

“Unwanted advertisements are like weeds – just when you think you’ve gotten rid of them, they sprout up one more time,” said Senator Sarlo, D-Bergen. “While we’ve made great strides in empowering the public to free themselves of telemarketers, our fax machines still provide companies with a means to sneak their unwanted ads into our homes and businesses. This bill addresses this growing nuisance.”
