Bill > HB2472

This bill establishes the Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act, which aims to prevent deceptive telephone practices by prohibiting call spoofing (falsifying caller identification information) for business and residential subscribers. The legislation creates comprehensive regulations for telephone solicitations and caller identification services, requiring telecommunications providers to implement STIR/SHAKEN authentication protocols by August 28, 2027, to verify the accuracy of caller ID information. The bill expands existing no-call list provisions to include business subscribers, mandates that telemarketers clearly identify themselves at the start of calls, and prohibits methods of circumventing caller identification services. Violators can face significant financial penalties, with fines ranging from $25,000 for a first offense to $75,000 for subsequent offenses, which will be deposited into the state's merchandising practices revolving fund. The bill also provides legal recourse for call recipients, allowing them to sue for actual and punitive damages of up to $5,000 per call, and empowers the attorney general to initiate legal proceedings against those who intentionally transmit misleading caller identification information with fraudulent intent.
