Foreign Robocall Elimination Act (S. 2666)

Foreign Robocall Elimination Act

This bill establishes an interagency task force on unlawful robocalls to advise federal agencies and Congress on combating robocalls made from outside of the United States.

The bill also increases the term applicable to the Federal Communications Commission’s designation of an industry-led consortium to trace the origin of suspected unlawful robocalls. Under current law, the commission must annually seek applications from industry groups to serve as the designated consortium; under the bill, the commission must seek applications once every three years.
