Is Nebraska a one-party consent state?

Nebraska is a one-party consent state: one person on the call can consent to it being recorded, so a business can record its own calls without asking the other caller under the state rule.

Notes
A person not acting under color of law may intercept if they are a party or one party gave prior consent, unless it is done to commit a criminal or tortious act.

For businesses using an AI receptionist

AI receptionists usually record and transcribe calls. Announcing at the start of the call that it's recorded, and that the caller is speaking with an AI assistant, is the common way businesses handle callers from states with stricter rules.

Calls with people in two-party states such as California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland can raise the question of which state's law applies, which is why many businesses announce recording on all calls.

Compare AI receptionists and check which ones announce recording and AI use.

Automatic Dialing-Announcing Devices Act

Telemarketing and automated calls

  • Using an automatic dialing-announcing device for telephone solicitations requires a permit from the state commission ($500 per device, valid two years).
  • Solicitation calls to residential lines using such a device may not be made before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. at the called person's location, and the caller must keep a do-not-call list with a written policy and trained staff.
  • Recorded solicitation messages must identify the caller at the start and give a phone number (not the device's) or address during or after the message.
  • The device must release the called person's line within five seconds after they hang up.
  • Non-solicitation automated messages require registration (no fee), must identify the sender, and may be sent only between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., with exemptions for schools, established relationships, employee schedules and political subdivisions.
