AI Summary
This bill, known as the Locking Up Robocallers Act of 2019, requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide evidence of intentional robocall violations to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Specifically, if the FCC's Enforcement Bureau Chief obtains evidence of willful, knowing, and repeated robocall violations with an intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value, they must provide such evidence to the Attorney General.
