Makes a technical correction to a citation to a federal regulation in the "do not call" statute. Provides that the statute requiring telephone solicitors to register with the consumer protection division of the attorney general's office (registration statute) does not apply to the following: (1) A seller if the solicitation made by the seller: (A) is made in a telephone call that is exempt from the "do not call" statute; or (B) is not made in a telephone call to a residential telephone number. (2) A manufacturer or dealer of motor vehicles (or to any agent or representative of a manufacturer or dealer). Specifies that for purposes of the registration statute: (1) a "prospect" means a person with whom the seller does not have an established business relationship; and (2) a "solicitation" means a telephone conversation or attempted telephone conversation that occurs in a telephone call made by a seller to a prospect. Specifies that the registration statement that must be submitted by a seller to the consumer protection division must list certain required information only with respect to any (rather than all, under current law) of the persons charged with responsibility for the seller's business activities relating to telephone sales. Eliminates the requirement that the registration statement must include specified information regarding civil or criminal actions or bankruptcies involving sellers.
Specifies that the attorney general's authority to bring a civil action to enforce the federal Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 (Act) includes the attorney general's authority to bring a civil action to seek damages and injunctive relief under the broader statute of which the Act is a part. Provides that not later than December 31, 2020, a provider that offers voice telephony service through an interconnected VOIP service to subscribers in Indiana shall implement: (1) the SHAKEN/STIR framework for verifying and authenticating caller identification information for calls made through an interconnected VOIP service; or (2) any alternative technology that provides comparable or superior functionality in verifying and authenticating caller identification information; consistent with certain actions by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in connection with, or in furtherance of, a June 6, 2019, FCC declaratory ruling. Provides that the bill's requirement does not apply to: (1) a rural telephone cooperative; or (2) a provider that: (A) serves only Indiana subscribers; and (B) has not more than 5,000 subscribers. Specifies that the bill's requirement does not: (1) require a provider to offer or implement call blocking; or (2) restrict or prohibit a provider from offering or implementing call blocking, consistent with the FCC declaratory ruling. Authorizes the attorney general to adopt rules to implement these provisions.
Provides that the bureau of motor vehicles may issue a salvage title to a vehicle designated as "JUNK" in certain situations.
