Prohibits manipulation of certain caller identification information.

This New Jersey bill (A690) prohibits intentionally displaying false or misleading caller identification information during phone calls or texts with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or obtain value. It directly affects telecom providers, telemarketers, and individuals who spoof caller IDs - such as scammers impersonating legitimate businesses. The law amends state consumer fraud law to make such manipulation unlawful, with penalties up to $10,000 for first offenses and $20,000 for repeat violations, plus possible cease-and-desist orders. Exceptions include law enforcement activities under court orders and blocking caller ID features, while aligning with federal caller ID rules.
