(a) Not less than ten (10) days prior to doing business in this state, a telephone sales solicitation operation or telephonic seller registers with the department by filing with the consumer protection division of the department the information required by § 5-61-4 and a filing fee of one hundred dollars ($ 100). A seller is deemed to do business in this state if the seller solicits prospective purchasers from locations in this state or solicits prospective purchasers who are located in this state. The information required by § 5-61-4 is submitted on a form provided by the attorney general. The information is verified by a declaration signed by each principal of the telephone sales solicitation operation under penalty of perjury. The declaration specifies the date and location of signing. Information submitted pursuant to subdivision (10) or (11) of § 5-61-4 is clearly identified and appended to the filing.

(b) Registration of a telephone sales solicitation business is valid for one year from its effective date and may be annually renewed by making the filing required by § 5-61-4 and paying a filing fee of one hundred dollars ($ 100), which is deposited into the general fund as general revenue.

(c) Whenever, prior to expiration of a seller's annual registration, there is a material change in the information required by § 5-61-4, the seller, within ten (10) days, files an addendum updating the information with the consumer protection division of the department. However, changes in salespersons soliciting on behalf of the seller are updated by addendums filed, if necessary, in quarterly intervals computed from the effective date of registration.

(d) Upon receipt of a filing and filing fee pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b), the department sends the telephonic seller a written confirmation of receipt of the filing no later than ten (10) business days. If the seller has more than one business location, the written confirmation is sent to the principal business location identified in the seller's filing and the seller may make copies so that the seller has one for each business location. The seller posts the confirmation of receipt of filing, within ten (10) days of receipt, in a conspicuous place at each of the seller's business locations. The seller does not commence any telephone solicitations until the time that the written confirmation is received.

(e) The consumer protection division of the department of attorney general may delay, reject, or revoke a registration upon review of the information contained in the filing of the registration form, or as a result of information relating to the conduct of the business operation.
