AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the Communications Act of 1934 to add a new restriction on automated phone calls. It would make it unlawful to call a phone number assigned to a federal department or agency using equipment that can, without further human action after it is started, make a series of repeated calls to that number and send and receive information through those calls. The restriction applies when the equipment is operated by someone other than the person or entity the information in the call is about.
