This bill amends the Nebraska Telecommunications Regulation Act by updating sections 86-101 and 86-103 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska. It introduces new legal language that defines the term "North American Numbering Plan" in accordance with federal regulations and establishes a duty for telecommunications companies. Specifically, the bill mandates that these companies must protect their subscribers and customers from unwanted calls or text messages originating from unauthenticated North American Numbering Plan numbers, as well as prevent the fraudulent provision of misleading or inaccurate caller identification information.

Additionally, the bill harmonizes existing provisions within the act and repeals the original sections 86-101 and 86-103. The inclusion of these new definitions and duties aims to enhance consumer protection in telecommunications, ensuring that customers are safeguarded against unwanted communications and potential fraud.
