Overview

The Foreign Robocall Elimination Act establishes an interagency task force to advise federal agencies and Congress on combating robocalls originating outside the United States. It also modifies the process by which the Federal Communications Commission designates an industry-led consortium to trace the origin of these calls, extending the review period from annually to every three years. The task force will conduct a comprehensive study of the issue, including analyzing the volume of robocalls, identifying countries of origin, and recommending strategies for collaboration and enforcement.
