SF 1860 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

False caller identification information prohibition provision and criminal penalties provision

SF 1860 prohibits telecommunications providers in Minnesota from displaying false caller identification information, such as fake names or numbers, to residents' phones. It requires telecom companies to annually block fraudulent calls for Minnesota subscribers at no cost, with specific exceptions for law enforcement, domestic violence shelters, and healthcare communications. Violations are classified as felonies punishable by fines up to $10,000 per incident, and affected subscribers can seek civil damages. The bill directly protects Minnesota residents from deceptive caller ID practices while imposing new obligations on telecom providers.
