Legislation Passed to Stop Robocalls

Earlier this month the U.S. House of Representatives passed the TRACE Act, a bipartisan effort to stop robocallers from flooding Americans’ phones with unwanted calls. Congressman James Comer, who represents Russell County in the First Congressional District, says he is an avid supporter of this “common-sense legislation which gives the Federal Communications Commission greater ability to go after call scammers.” Comer said the legislation is a critical step in the effort to stop illegal robocalls, mitigate vulnerabilities to scam callers, and provide much-needed relief for Americans being bothered by constant robocalls.
