The bill amends Chapter 159C of the General Laws by adding a new section that restricts telephone solicitors from making unsolicited telephonic sales calls using local phone numbers or area codes that are not associated with their physical location or place of business within the Commonwealth. This aims to enhance consumer protection by ensuring that telemarketers cannot misrepresent their identity or location through deceptive phone number practices.

Additionally, the bill grants the attorney general the authority to enforce these restrictions and impose fines on violators. It also mandates the attorney general to report any violations to an advisory group, which will facilitate a system for consumers to track complaints. Furthermore, the office, in collaboration with the attorney general, is tasked with creating rules and regulations to effectively implement this new section.
