A House committee today approved a bill that would prevent telemarketers from calling individuals who put their names on a state-sponsored "do not call" list.

Opponents argue the bill won't do anything to stop fraudulant telemarketers and will impede businesses that rely on telemarketing. Minnesota Public Radio's Tom Scheck reports..
