  • Existing law already prohibits telemarketers from blocking or circumventing caller ID, including displaying false numbers or names to misrepresent their identity
  • The bill takes effect immediately but remains inoperative for 60 days following enactment
  • Amends New Jersey's existing telemarketing law (P.L.2003, c.76) which established the state's do-not-call list and prohibited unsolicited calls between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
