Foreign Robocall Elimination Act
Latest action (Aug 10, 2026) — Held at the desk.
What it does
Congressional Research Service, Aug 1, 2025This bill establishes an interagency task force on unlawful robocalls to advise federal agencies and Congress on combating robocalls made from outside of the United States.
The bill also increases the term applicable to the Federal Communications Commission’s designation of an industry-led consortium to trace the origin of suspected unlawful robocalls. Under current law, the commission must annually seek applications from industry groups to serve as the designated consortium; under the bill, the commission must seek applications once every three years.

Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out

Most filings say only that an organization lobbied on a bill, not which side it took — where that's the case we say so rather than guessing. Quotes are verbatim from the filing. How this is built.
