Insurance Marketing Coalition Ltd. v. FCC, et al., No. 24-10277 (11th Cir.)
This case was brought by an insurance trade group against the FCC to challenge the validity of the FCC’s One-to-One Consent Rule, which would require telemarketers to obtain consent directly from a consumer before robocalling them. The Rule would have eliminated billions of unwanted robocalls each month. On January 24, 2025, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Rule.
In light of the change of federal administration, NCLC and Public Justice represented the National Consumers League (NCL) and several small business owners in their effort to intervene in the case to defend the Rule. On March 10, 2025, NCL and the small business owners asked the full 11th Circuit to reconsider the panel decision striking down the Rule. A bipartisan group of 28 state attorneys general filed an amicus brief in support.
On April 22, 2025, the Eleventh Circuit denied the motion to intervene as untimely and denied the motion for rehearing en banc as moot.
