Creates Taskforce to Stop Robocalls

Foreign Robocall Elimination Act This bill establishes an interagency task force on unlawful robocalls to advise federal agencies and Congress on combating robocalls made from outside of the United States. The bill also increases the term applicable to the Federal Communications Commission’s designation of an industry-led consortium to trace the origin of suspected unlawful robocalls. Under current law, the commission must annually seek applications from industry groups to serve as the designated consortium; under the bill, the commission must seek applications once every three years.

1. The Federal Communications Commission will form a taskforce to tackle unlawful robocalls within 270 days of the bill's passage. 2. The taskforce will include representatives from various federal agencies and private sector experts in combating robocalls. 3. Members will include voice service providers, technology experts, and consumer advocates to ensure diverse perspectives. 4. The taskforce aims to develop strategies and solutions to reduce the number of illegal robocalls affecting consumers.

This bill affects consumers who receive unwanted and illegal robocalls, as well as businesses that rely on legitimate phone communications.
