New legislation would bar telemarketers from calling cell phones.

Legislation adding cell phones to Missouri's no call list faced no objection in the Senate Monday.By Stacey Kafka (Jefferson City, Mo.)

Cell phones and faxes are currently not on the state telemarketing no-call list.

That could soon soon change if one Senate bill gets passed. Senator Will Kraus sponsors the bill.
He says this bill is something most people will support.

"You know, I have constituents and people talking to me all the time about how they're getting calls on their cell phones from advertisers and how it's getting disturbing," Kraus said.

The bill met no objection on the Senate floor today. Kraus says he thinks it will make it through the Senate and House relatively quickly.
