Bill overview
This bill directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create a pilot program designed to reduce unwanted robocalls. The program will offer monetary rewards to individuals who help identify and prevent these illegal calls, with funds recovered from violations shared among participants. The FTC will establish guidelines for what constitutes an ‘egregious violation’ and will report on the program’s effectiveness, including the number of calls identified and prosecuted, and recommendations for future improvements.
