May 28, 1987 – The Minnesota Legislature approves an anti-robo call statute (325E.27), which says:
     A caller shall not use or connect to a telephone line an automatic dialing-announcing device unless:  (1) the subscriber has knowingly or voluntarily requested, consented to, permitted, or authorized receipt of the message; or (2) the message is immediately preceded by a live operator who obtains the subscriber's consent before the message is delivered.
     This section and section 5 do not apply to (1) messages from school districts to students, parents or employees, (2) messages to subscribers with whom the caller has a current business or personal relationship, or (3) messages advising employees of work schedules.
