50 TCPA Best Practices Checklist to Stay Compliant in 2026
Blog post from Bland
The text discusses the complexities and risks associated with compliance under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) for AI-driven call operations. It highlights the inadequacy of traditional compliance models, which often rely on spreadsheets and call recordings, and emphasizes the need for real-time, infrastructure-level compliance mechanisms that can handle high call volumes without exposing companies to significant legal and financial risks. The FCC requires prior express written consent for AI-generated calls, equating them with prerecorded messages, and the TCPA imposes substantial penalties for each call that violates compliance. The document urges enterprises to integrate real-time consent verification, opt-out suppression, and comprehensive audit trails into their call systems to avoid litigation. It also stresses the importance of treating consent as a timestamped data event with specific requirements, rather than a simple checkbox, and recommends frequent scrubbing against the Do Not Call Registry. The text warns against the pitfalls of relying solely on policy documents and batch-processing systems, which can lead to severe legal exposure due to delayed suppression of opt-outs and scattered compliance records.
