Key takeaway Current FCC requirements are not considered strong enough to address the issue.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has joined a coalition of attorneys general from across the US to urge the Federal Communications Commission to take action against illegal robocalls. The coalition is seeking stronger rules to prevent scams. The attorneys general want the FCC to verify who is using phone company networks to make calls, in an effort to stop unlawful calls.
Current FCC requirements are not considered strong enough to address the issue. Further details on the coalition's efforts and the impact of robocalls on Minnesotans are available from the source.
