Robo Calls Off Phones (Robo COP) Act

H.R. 248, the Robo Calls Off Phones (Robo COP) Act, would expand the Federal Trade Commission’s National Do-Not-Call Registry to include a ban on automated political phone calls. Under this legislation, individuals who have registered their phone numbers to avoid telemarketers would also be protected from receiving pre-recorded political messages. The bill aims to provide citizens with greater control over their privacy by applying the same restrictive standards to political organizations that currently apply to commercial businesses.
