WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan issued the following statements after the Senate passed the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act — bipartisan legislation they cosponsored to give regulators more time to find scammers, increase penalties on those caught, promote call authentication and blocking adoption, and bring relevant federal agencies and state attorneys general together to evaluate policies and resources needed to better prosecute and deter illegal robocalls.
“For too long, people in New Hampshire have been hounded by scammers and illegal, disruptive robocalls. This has to stop,” said Shaheen. “That’s why I’m encouraged by the bipartisan support in the Senate to move this bill forward, which will help protect Granite Staters and hold scammers accountable. I urge the House of Representatives to follow the Senate’s lead and vote on the bill as quickly as possible.”
