Bill Summary
This bill prohibits a telemarketer, when making or causing to be made any telemarketing sales call, from failing to transmit or cause to be transmitted the telephone number, and, when made available by the telemarketer's telephone company, the name of the telemarketer, to any caller identification service in use by a recipient of a telemarketing sales call.

AI Summary
This bill prohibits telemarketers from failing to transmit their telephone number and name (when available from their telephone company) to caller ID services when making sales calls. Telemarketers are allowed to substitute the name of the seller they are calling on behalf of and the seller's customer service number instead. The bill also prohibits telemarketers from intentionally blocking or circumventing caller ID. Additionally, the bill retains existing provisions that prohibit telemarketers from calling numbers on the "no telemarketing call list" (with some exceptions) and from making calls between 9 pm and 8 am local time.
