Okla. Stat. tit. 15, § 15-775A.1

The Legislature hereby finds, determines and declares that the

use of telephones for commercial solicitation, including, but not

limited to, cellular telephone text messages, is rapidly increasing;

that this form of communication offers unique benefits, but entails

special risks and poses the potential for abuse; that the

Legislature finds that the widespread practice of fraudulent and

deceptive commercial telephone solicitation has caused substantial

financial losses to thousands of consumers and, particularly,

elderly, homebound and otherwise vulnerable consumers, and is a

matter vitally affecting the public interest; and, therefore, that

the general welfare of the public and the protection of the

integrity of the telemarketing industry requires statutory

regulation of the commercial use of telephones.
