Lawmakers tee up vote on compromise bill targeting robocalls

By Emily Birnbaum - 11/27/19 02:22 PM EST

The House is likely to vote an anti-robocall bill with backing in both chambers as soon as next week, increasing the likelihood that legislation cracking down on the scourge of robocalls in the U.S. will reach President Trump's desk before the end of the year.

House and Senate lawmakers released the text of the compromise bill on Wednesday, showcasing the result of months of negotiations to smooth out different versions of the legislation in both chambers. The Pallone-Thune TRACED Act, named after its sponsors in the House and Senate, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) and Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), is likely to pass easily next week.

“I am proud to have worked with my House and Senate colleagues on a strong, bipartisan anti-robocall bill that I believe can be signed into law," said Pallone, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, in a statement. "This legislation is the product of months of good-faith negotiations between the House and Senate, and will go a long way towards combatting both scam and spam calls."

   Political Robocalls will be exempt from this bill, no doubt.

Wish they'd target 99% of their efforts toward the rag heads from the Window's support team.

A "compromise bill,"  That means the bill won't do jack to get rid of those calls.

That what they call it when one side got paid off.  Someone was compromised.

Right now the National Do Not Call Registry exempts political and charity calls. I detest the BS political and charity calls........and now texts too! You know they will continue to exempt them so they can tell us how wonderful they are and how we should vote..........like good little automatons.
