Bill > S1237

This bill requires telemarketers making sales calls to display their name and telephone number on any caller identification service, or in certain cases, the name and customer service number of the seller they represent. This aims to prevent telemarketers from intentionally hiding their identity or using misleading information to circumvent a customer's caller identification service. The bill also clarifies existing rules about when telemarketers can call customers on a "no telemarketing call list" (a list of phone numbers that consumers have registered to avoid sales calls) and reinforces restrictions on calling hours, requiring calls to be made between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time. These provisions are intended to provide consumers with more transparency and control over unsolicited sales calls.
