United States of America: 47 adopted State Attorneys General letter supporting the FCC rules to protect consumers from illegal robocalls

On 12 November 2024, 47 State Attorneys General of the United States adopted the comment letter to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) proposals on enhancing the robocall mitigation database. The letter supports the proposed measures aimed at increasing accountability among voice service providers, especially those handling cross-border call traffic. It recommended mandatory multi-factor authentication, regular updates of provider details, and penalties for false filings to curb robocall abuse. The letter also argues in favour of procedural improvements such as data validation tools and filing fees to deter non-compliance.
