For legislation to prohibit misleading telemarketer calls to consumers. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to prohibit misleading telemarketer calls to consumers by amending existing law to prohibit telephone solicitors from intentionally using a device to change the name or telephone number displayed on a caller identification system. This would prevent telemarketers from hiding their true identity or contact information when making calls, which can mislead consumers.
