AI Summary
This bill amends the General Business Law to limit robocalls to state residents and require telephone service providers to offer free call blocking technology to customers. It defines key terms like "robocall," "prior express consent," and "provider." The bill prohibits making robocalls except in certain circumstances, such as for emergency purposes or with the called party's consent. It requires providers to offer opt-out call blocking services, review and deploy the best available call blocking technology, and report on their implementation. The bill also imposes civil penalties for violations and authorizes the Attorney General and individuals to bring legal action. It requires the Department of State to report annually on issues related to illegal robocalls.
