Bill Summary
For legislation to limit consumer exposure to deceptive calling practices. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to limit consumer exposure to deceptive calling practices. It amends existing laws to define "personal identifying information" and "pose," prohibit the use of misleading or false caller ID information, and require telephone service providers to implement effective caller authentication technology. The bill also establishes a special legislative commission to study the implementation of these requirements and sets deadlines for providers to comply with the new caller authentication technology mandate. Violations of the new provisions can result in fines of up to $10,000 per deceptive call, with higher fines for calls targeting consumers aged 65 or older.
