Establishes task force to study technology and other methods used to reduce or eliminate telemarketing harassment and intimidation.

S 837 establishes a 11-member task force within New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to study technology and methods for reducing telemarketing harassment and intimidation targeting consumers. The task force includes telecom experts from AT&T and Verizon, AARP, utility representatives, and three senior citizens who have experienced such harassment. It must issue a report within 180 days containing a cost-benefit analysis, financing options, and draft legislation recommendations for implementing solutions. This bill directly affects New Jersey consumers targeted by unwanted telemarketing calls, focusing on evaluating feasible solutions rather than enacting immediate changes.
