Plain-English Summary

This bill would give the Federal Communications Commission stronger tools to block and investigate robocalls coming from outside the United States, aiming to reduce the flood of spam and scam calls that target American phone users. The measure would likely require phone companies to implement better filtering technology and give regulators more authority to penalize carriers that fail to stop foreign robocalls from reaching customers. Consumers and phone service providers would be the main groups affected by these new protections and requirements.
