The Pallone-Thune TRACED Act (S.151) passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, by a vote of 417–3. This bill mandates STIR/SHAKEN and other measures to combat unwanted robocalls. The next stop for the legislation is the U.S. Senate.
House representatives Frank Pallone, Greg Walden, Mike Doyle and Bob Latta released the following statement:
“We’re proud of this overwhelming vote by the House to pass the Pallone-Thune TRACED Act today. This legislation combats the robocall epidemic by ensuring every call Americans receive will be verified and can be blocked at no extra cost to consumers. It also gives the Federal Communications Commission and law enforcement the authority to quickly go after scammers. The American people are demanding relief from these calls, and the House has delivered. We look forward to quick Senate action on this bill so it can be sent to the President’s desk for his signature.”
