Urges Congress and President to enact "Do Not Disturb Act."
New Jersey's AJR 80 is a symbolic resolution urging Congress to pass the "Do Not Disturb Act" to address the growing problem of spam and scam calls. It highlights that Americans received 2.1 billion spam/scam calls monthly in 2023 - wasting over 195 million hours - particularly harming seniors. The resolution notes the Supreme Court's 2021 ruling narrowed the TCPA's definition of robocall technology, allowing many modern scams to bypass current laws. The proposed "Do Not Disturb Act" would expand anti-robocall protections, combat AI-powered scams, and lower costs for consumer call-blocking technology.
