Schumer today urged the House of Representatives to pass comprehensive robocall legislation as soon as possible. This push comes on the heels of recent Senate action on the TRACED Act, which was introduced by U.S. Senators Ed Markey (D-MA) and John Thune (R-SD) and cosponsored by Schumer. The TRACED Act, which passed the Senate by a 97 -1 vote, would give federal agencies newfound tools and authority to trace, prosecute and enforce fines against robocall scammers, as well as establish new requirements related to call authentication technology that could filter out robocalls before they reach the phones of unsuspecting New Yorkers. According to Schumer, despite federal ‘Do Not Call’ rules, robocalls and unwanted spam calls are getting worse by the day in New York, with a staggering 284.4 million reported in May of this year alone. Schumer explained that the Senate passed robocall legislation in May and called on the House of Representatives to follow suit. </span></p>"}}
