This report is a general compliance reference, not legal advice. Consent and enforcement exposure change. Confirm the current rule with counsel before any recorded outreach. Argus shops every channel. In all-party states, voice shops are excluded because a call cannot be recorded there. Confirm the current rule with counsel before any recorded outreach.

How this is built

Methodology & sources

Consent classification

Every state is classified one-party or all-party from 2026 statute-level sources, with the governing statute cited on each. Michigan reads one-party because its courts recognize a participant exception. Nevada is treated all-party as the conservative read of its Supreme Court.

Enforcement rubric

High means an active state-attorney-general-joined action or an in-force statute expanding dealer liability. Elevated means documented FTC action or settlement history. Baseline means the federal floor only. Every High and Elevated flag is tied to a named, sourced matter.

Your exposure

A combined read of the two axes. Where enforcement is active and a shopper can also record the call, a store is most exposed and often least aware. That overlap is the highest tier on the exposure view.

Local carve-outs

Call-recording consent is occupied by state wiretap law, so there are no municipal consent carve-outs. A small number of large metros run their own auto and consumer rules; those enter the enforcement layer once a primary source is confirmed.
