Stop Spam Calls Act

This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to change its rule defining "prior express written consent" for telemarketing calls and texts within 1 year of the bill becoming law. The new definition must match the version the FCC adopted in a final rule on unlawful robocalls and text messages published on January 26, 2024. The revised definition would take effect 18 months after the bill becomes law. The bill also states that it should not be read to mean the FCC lacked authority before this law to require that consent be given in writing.
