Bill > S3299

Introduced Session

This bill prohibits a telemarketer, in connection with any voice telecommunications service used within this State, to knowingly make, place, initiate, or otherwise transmit a call or text message or engage in conduct that results in the display of misleading, false, or inaccurate caller identification (ID) information on the receiving party's telephone or circumvent a caller ID service that is designed to allow the receiving party to identify caller ID information regarding the origin and nature of the call or text message with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value. The bill provides, consistent with federal law, several exceptions to the bill's prohibition on caller ID manipulation. Further, the bill provides that a person who knowingly manipulates a caller ID service is guilty of a disorderly persons offense. A disorderly persons offense is ordinarily punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to six months or a fine of up to $1,000, or both.
