HR 7112 United States House · 118th Congress

Stop Scams and Spam Act

HR 7112, the Stop Scams and Spam Act, requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create a tracking system for the top 100 illegal or suspected illegal robocall campaigns within one year of the law's enactment. The FCC must then publish monthly public reports on these campaigns via its website, detailing activity from the previous month. This bill directly affects consumers by increasing transparency about widespread scam call operations, as the reports will identify recurring fraudulent campaigns targeting phone users. The law defines "robocall" broadly to include automated calls or texts using dialing systems or prerecorded voices, excluding those requiring significant human involvement.
