Bill > H1327

This bill proposes to add a new section to Chapter 269A of the General Laws, which deals with annoying telephone calls, by creating Section 14B. This new section would make it illegal for someone to allow their telephone to be used by another person to repeatedly call someone or their family with the intent to harass, annoy, or molest them, or to repeatedly use indecent or obscene language. The penalty for violating this provision would be a fine of up to $500, imprisonment for up to three months, or both. This aims to address situations where individuals might facilitate or permit abusive phone calls even if they are not the ones making the calls themselves.
