This bill adds business subscribers to the No-Call List and specifies that a person does not have to renew his or her objection to receiving telephone solicitations.
The bill establishes the "Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act" which creates the offense of caller identification spoofing. The first offense is a class A misdemeanor and any subsequent offenses are a class E felony. Exceptions to the offense are specified in the bill.
The recipient of any call in which the caller uses false caller ID information has standing to recover actual and punitive damages against the caller in an amount up to $5,000 per call. Call recipients may bring action under this section as a class. The Attorney General may initiate legal proceedings or intervene in legal proceedings on behalf of call recipients.
This bill is the same as HCS HB 2603 (2024).
