2006 New York Code - Unsolicited Telefacsimile Advertising.

 
    * §  396-aa.  Unsolicited  telefacsimile  advertising.  1. It shall be
  unlawful for  a  person,  corporation,  partnership  or  association  to
  initiate   the   unsolicited   transmission  of  telefacsimile  messages
  promoting goods or services  for  purchase  by  the  recipient  of  such
  messages. For purposes of this section, "telefacsimile" shall mean every
  process  in  which electronic signals are transmitted by telephone lines
  for conversion into written  text.  This  section  shall  not  apply  to
  telefacsimile  messages  sent to a recipient with whom the initiator has
  had a prior contractual or business relationship nor shall it  apply  to
  transmissions  not  exceeding  five  pages received between the hours of
  9:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. local time. Notwithstanding the above, it  shall
  be unlawful to initiate any telefacsimile message to a recipient who has
  previously  sent  a  written  or  telefacsimile message to the initiator
  clearly  indicating  that  the  recipient  does  not  want  to   receive
  telefacsimile messages from the initiator.
    2.  Any  person  who  has  received  a  telefacsimile  transmission in
  violation of this section may bring an action in his own name to recover
  his actual damages or one hundred dollars, whichever is greater.
