Bill overview
This bill aims to reduce unwanted phone calls from telemarketers to Massachusetts residents. It proposes a system where telemarketers would be required to register their phone numbers with the state and would only be allowed to call numbers that have opted in to receive such calls. The bill also seeks to increase penalties for telemarketers who violate these rules and to provide consumers with more tools to block unwanted calls. Ultimately, the goal is to protect consumers from intrusive and unwanted sales solicitations.
