Urges Congress and President to enact "Do Not Disturb Act."
New Jersey's AJR 177 is a resolution urging Congress and the President to pass the "Do Not Disturb Act." It highlights that Americans receive over 2.1 billion spam and scam calls monthly - wasting 195 million hours in 2023 - and notes a Supreme Court ruling (Facebook v. Duguid) that limits current anti-robocall laws. The proposed act would expand protections against spam calls, combat AI-driven scams, and reduce costs for consumer call-blocking technology. It directly affects all U.S. phone users, with particular concern for seniors targeted by these calls. The resolution calls for federal action to address this widespread issue.
