Subject: Robocall crackdown sails through House
Politico reported that A sweeping 417-3 House vote Wednesday
left Congress on the verge of passing legislation aimed at
knocking back the billions of unwanted automated phone calls
that torment Americans each month, amid hopes the Senate can
send the measure to Trump by Christmas.
The bill aims to tackle robocalls in several ways, notably by
requiring phone companies to verify where phone calls are
coming from and let consumers block them at no additional cost.
It would also boost the enforcement powers of the FCC and
direct the Justice Department to convene a working group to
make sure robocall violations are prosecuted.
