relative to caller identification requirements for telemarketing calls.
HB 1208 requires telemarketers calling New Hampshire residents to display a valid, returnable phone number that connects directly to the business or its agent. It prohibits businesses from showing caller ID numbers that are disconnected or listed in the federal Reassigned Numbers Database. The bill directly affects telemarketing companies operating in New Hampshire, ensuring recipients can verify and contact the caller. This aims to reduce scams involving fake or outdated phone numbers. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
