Louisiana has no enacted commercial-financing disclosure law as of 2026. Standard federal CFPB guidance and general LA consumer-protection statutes still apply to all commercial outreach.
AI-agent and automated-communication disclosure obligations are expanding rapidly. As of 2026, California (SB 1001 + Cal. Bus. & Prof. § 17941), Utah (AI Policy Act), Colorado (Colorado AI Act), and Texas (TRAIGA) all impose varying disclosure requirements on businesses using AI agents in consumer- or business-facing communications. The FTC has also signaled enforcement interest in undisclosed AI personas. If your outbound uses AI-voice, synthesized speech, or a bot that can appear human, verify per-state disclosure requirements before deploying — penalties range from injunctive relief to per-violation fines.
Quality scoring and record-tier classification: each record receives a composite quality score based on: phone-line type (mobile > landline > VoIP), email validation status (deliverable > risky > undeliverable), record recency (days since last seen in an active data source), source-tier (MCA application > merchant-services partner > B2B data), and business-closure signal status (clear > flagged > confirmed closed). The score drives the source_tier field in the delivered schema, so you can sort your pull by quality descending and work the highest-confidence records first, then step down as your team needs volume.
