Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to limiting robocalls to state residents and to require telephone service providers to offer free call mitigation technology to telephone customers
AI Summary
This bill amends the general business law to limit robocalls (calls made using automatic dialing devices or prerecorded voices) to state residents, and requires telephone service providers to offer free call mitigation technology to customers to help block unwanted robocalls. It defines key terms like "robocall," "call mitigation technology," and "telephone service provider," and sets out the specific situations where robocalls are permitted (e.g., for emergency purposes or with prior consent). The bill also imposes civil penalties for violations and requires the Department of State to report annually on the implementation of call mitigation technology by providers. Overall, the bill aims to protect New York residents from the nuisance and potential fraud associated with unwanted robocalls.
