Stopping Bad RoboCalls Act goes to House floor

Congress is putting more effort into stopping those annoying robocalls.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee is sending the "Stopping Bad Robocalls" Act to the floor. The bipartisan bill would outlaw many methods that scammers use to call consumers, and make it easier for the government to go after the robocallers. It would require phone carriers to use new call authentication protocols recommended by the Federal Communications Commission.

This new bill follows the Senate's "TRACED" Act that is currently awaiting a vote in the House, which would create an emergency task force to combat robocalls.
