Roboblock Act

HR 7124, the Roboblock Act, requires phone service providers to offer free robocall-blocking services to all their customers within 180 days of the law's enactment. The bill defines "robocalls" as automated calls or texts made using dialing systems or prerecorded messages (excluding calls needing substantial human input), and the blocking service must target calls "highly likely to be illegal." This directly affects phone companies (voice service providers) and their customers by mandating no-cost protection against unwanted automated calls and texts. The law amends the Communications Act to make this blocking service a standard, free feature for all customers.
