H.R. 6152 — Foreign Robocall Elimination Act
What it does
This bill directs the FCC to establish a taskforce within 270 days to study unlawful robocalls, particularly those originating from foreign countries. The taskforce will include federal agencies, voice service providers, technology experts, marketing businesses, and consumer advocates, and must report to Congress within 360 days on the scope of foreign robocalls, their sources, financial harm, and recommendations for combating them. The bill also requires the FCC to establish bonding rules (up to $100,000) for providers filing robocall mitigation certifications, and grants immunity to a private consortium that shares traceback information about suspected unlawful robocalls.
Quorum's transparency scan gave Foreign Robocall Elimination Act a moderate transparency flag.
