Limitations on telemarketers in MA law

Is there or is there not some law in Massachusetts that says telemarketers cannot call a home after 6 p.m.? I've been getting a crazy number of telemarketing calls over the last month and they often call in the evening, which I though was illegal. Thanks.

Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 159C, Section 3 places several limitations of telemarketers making unsolicited calls to Massachusetts residents.  The law prohibits telemarketers from calling between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.  Section 3 also prohibits a telemarketer from calling you at any time if you have placed your number on the do not call registry.  Follow this link for information about the do not call registry and about caller ID and telemarketers.  For more information, or to make a complaint, you can call the MA Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation at 617-973-8787
