Bill > S1782

This bill proposes to amend Section 4 of Chapter 159C, a Massachusetts law concerning telecommunications, by adding a new provision that prohibits telephone solicitors, which refers to individuals or companies making unsolicited sales calls, from intentionally using a device to alter the information displayed on a consumer's caller identification (caller ID) screen. This means telemarketers would be legally prevented from "spoofing" their caller ID, a practice where they disguise their real phone number or name to appear as someone else, often to deceive consumers or bypass call-blocking services.
