Description

The Federal Communications Commission modifies its rules governing consumers’ consent to receive robocalls. The rule provides clear, simple, and automated ways to revoke consent while streamlining how callers process revocations. It allows callers to treat certain revocations as applying only to the specific category of informational robocalls, designate an exclusive means for revoking consent, and use an amended financial-institution consent exemption to more easily alert customers to fraudulent account activity. The Commission also delegates authority to review the robocall rules for clarity and readability.
