Don’t Knock on My Door Act of 2021

Bill 117 HR 4749, also known as the Don't Knock on My Door Act of 2021, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to protect consumers from unwanted door-to-door sales and solicitations.

If passed, the Don't Knock on My Door Act would require companies to maintain a "Do Not Knock" list of individuals who do not wish to be contacted at their homes for sales purposes. Companies would be prohibited from contacting individuals on this list, and would face penalties for doing so.

Additionally, the bill would require companies to provide clear and conspicuous notice of the "Do Not Knock" list to consumers, and would mandate that salespeople respect any posted "No Soliciting" signs on private property. The Don't Knock on My Door Act aims to give consumers more control over who can approach them at their homes for sales purposes, and to protect vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, from aggressive or deceptive sales tactics. Overall, this bill seeks to strike a balance between protecting consumers' privacy and allowing legitimate businesses to engage in door-to-door sales in a respectful and ethical manner. It will be interesting to see how this legislation progresses through the legislative process and what impact it may have on the door-to-door sales industry.
