Bill > H329

This bill prohibits businesses from misrepresenting their geographic location in local telephone directories. Specifically, it prevents businesses from listing a local phone number in a local directory if calls to that number are routinely forwarded or transferred to a location outside the calling area. It also prohibits the use of fictitious or assumed business names that misrepresent the business's geographic location. The bill defines "local telephone directory" and "local telephone number" to clarify the scope of the restrictions. The intent is to prevent consumer deception about a business's actual physical location.
