NO! Many spammers like to make reference to proposed laws (bills) that are basically pro-spam, particularly Senate Bill 1618. However, the spammers are (big surprise) lying. The laws are either fictional or never made it into law (thankfully). Currently, there are no laws that either allow or prohibit spam – except for some very weak state laws that attempt to prohibit it. ISPs are the only real policy makers currently, and they usually do a good job of prohibiting spam, but the exact rules are different depending on the spammer’s ISP.
