This bill establishes a task force within the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety to study and recommend methods for reducing or eliminating telemarketing harassment and intimidation. The task force will consist of 11 members, including ex-officio members such as the Attorney General and the Directors of the Division of Consumer Affairs and the Division of Rate Counsel, along with eight public members appointed by the Governor. These public members will include telecommunications technology experts from AT&T and Verizon, a representative from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), a representative from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, and three senior citizens who have experienced telemarketing harassment.

The task force is required to hold its initial meeting within 90 days of the bill's effective date and will issue a report to the Governor and the Legislature within 180 days of that meeting. The report will include a cost-benefit analysis of potential technologies and methods to mitigate telemarketing harassment, financing options for implementation, and any relevant information or draft legislation deemed necessary by the task force. The task force will have access to assistance from state employees and the Office of Information Technology to support its work. The act will take effect immediately and will expire upon the issuance of the task force's report.
