Bill > S2666

This bill establishes an interagency taskforce to combat unlawful robocalls originating from outside the United States. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will create this taskforce within 270 days of the bill's enactment, bringing together representatives from federal agencies and private sector entities with expertise in combating robocalls. The taskforce will include seven private sector members from various backgrounds, such as voice service providers, technology experts, and consumer advocacy organizations. Their primary responsibility will be to prepare a comprehensive report analyzing the scope of international robocalls, identifying the countries with the highest volume of such calls, and assessing the financial and identity theft impacts on the United States. The report will explore potential solutions, including technical authentication technologies like STIR/SHAKEN, strategies for international cooperation, enforcement options, and best practices for blocking and mitigating unlawful robocalls. The taskforce must submit its report to Congress within 360 days of its establishment and will automatically terminate 90 days after submitting the report. Additionally, the bill modifies a previous provision in the Pallone-Thune TRACED Act, changing a reporting requirement from annual to once every three years.
