It Just Got Real: TRACED Act Barrels Across The Senate Goal Line

May 24, 2019 National Law Review

The US Senate today approved the TRACED Act, S. 151, as reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, by a vote of 97-1. Only Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against the bill. Senate floor action came after the Commerce Committee filed its report on the bill, S. Rep. No 116-41. As previously noted, the TRACED Act would increase potential fines for illegal robocalls, extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting violators of the TCPA, and require the implementation of the SHAKEN/STIR call authentication framework by voice service providers.

It also–and most critically–creates a working group including most every federal agency with an enforcement arm designed to enhance regulatory enforcement of the TCPA. This creates a clear and present danger that regulators will become more involved enforcing the statute in the near term
