Requires telecommunications service providers to provide call mitigation technology to subscribers.
This bill requires New Jersey telecommunications service providers to offer free call-blocking technology to all subscribers in the state. The technology identifies and blocks unwanted robocalls (autodialed calls) while allowing calls from law enforcement or from numbers the subscriber has previously consented to receive. It applies to all providers offering service to New Jersey residents and makes the blocking tool available at no additional cost to subscribers. The bill defines "robocalls" as pre-recorded messages or automated calls sent in bulk, and specifies the blocking technology must not interfere with consent-based or emergency calls.
