(2) The no-call database shall consist of the aggregate collection of the telephone numbers of properly submitted notices of objection to receiving telephone solicitations. The Attorney General may maintain the no-call database in either a written or an electronic format. (3) The telephone numbers of properly submitted notices of objection to receiving telephone solicitations shall become part of the no-call database in the quarter following the deadline for receipt of notice according to the following schedule: Receipt Deadline Calendar Quarter November 1 January–March February 1 April–June May 1 July–September August 1 October–December AUTHORITY: section 407.1101, RSMo 2000.* Original rule filed Sept. 28, 2000, effective March 30, 2001. *Original authority: 407.1101, RSMo 2000.
