To direct the Federal Trade Commission to revise the regulations regarding the do-not-call registry to prohibit politically-oriented recorded message telephone calls to telephone numbers listed on that registry.
Summary
H.R. 4298 would expand the Federal Trade Commission’s "Do Not Call" registry to include a ban on automated, pre-recorded political phone calls, commonly known as "robocalls." Under this legislation, individuals who have registered their phone numbers to avoid telemarketers would also stop receiving recorded messages regarding political candidates or campaigns. The bill aims to provide citizens with the same protections against unsolicited political recordings that they currently have against commercial sales calls.
