How federal and North Dakota claims work together
A single unwanted call or text can support more than one claim. The federal TCPA addresses how the communication was placed, including autodialed calls, prerecorded and artificial-voice messages, and calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. North Dakota telephone solicitation statutes and the North Dakota Consumer Fraud Law address conduct under North Dakota law and can add remedies. Federal TCPA statutory damages of $500-$1,500; state law may allow treble damages and fees.
