   original  bill.   Provides  that  it  is  a violation of the Telephone      
   Solicitations Act to make or cause to be made a telephone solicitation      
   call to any cellular phone unless the solicitor knows that the  person      
   receiving  the  call  will  not  have  to  pay any charges or fees for      
   receiving the call. Effective January 1, 2003.

        Provides that it is a violation of  the  Telephone  Solicitations      
   Act  to  knowingly  make or knowingly cause to be made, rather than to      
   make or to cause to be made, a  telephone  solicitation  call  to  any      
   cellular  phone  unless  the solicitor knows that the person receiving      
   the call will not have to pay any charges or fees  for  receiving  the      
   call.
