AI Summary
This bill aims to combat misleading or inaccurate caller identification information by prohibiting its transmission with intent to defraud, harm, or gain wrongfully, and it requires telecommunications companies to provide the originating phone number and location for all calls, blocking those with manipulated caller ID that doesn't match. It also mandates that telecommunications companies implement the STIR/SHAKEN authentication framework, a system for verifying and authenticating caller ID information, or a comparable alternative technology by July 1, 2027, and requires them to certify their compliance to the Federal Communications Commission, with violations of these provisions potentially leading to civil liability and a $250,000 penalty. The bill includes exceptions for authorized law enforcement activities and court-ordered manipulation of caller ID, and it also makes conforming changes to existing law regarding call blocking.
