AI Summary

This bill aims to limit consumer exposure to deceptive calling practices. It amends existing laws by adding definitions for "personal identifying information" and "pose", requiring caller identification information to be traceable back to the calling party, and prohibiting the use of misleading or false caller ID information, the display of Massachusetts area codes by out-of-state callers, and the use of personal identifying information to pose as another person. The bill also requires providers of telephone services in Massachusetts to implement effective caller authentication technology, and establishes a special legislative commission to study the implementation of these requirements. The bill also sets deadlines for the implementation of caller authentication technology and the promulgation of regulations to enforce the new provisions.
