Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has joined a bipartisan group of 49 other attorneys general calling on the Federal Communications Commission to strengthen a database intended to help prevent illegal robocalls.
Voice service providers must file information with the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database before they can route calls through the U.S. communications network. Rokita’s office said the current system allows bad actors to enter and remain in the database with limited barriers.
The coalition is asking the FCC to more thoroughly vet providers, require additional disclosures, make it harder for bad actors to re-enter the database and make historical filings public.
Rokita said his office has secured more than $200 million in penalties against illegal and unwanted robocallers since 2021.
Indiana consumers can file robocall or Do Not Call List complaints with the Indiana Attorney General’s Office online, by calling 1-888-834-9969 or by emailing [email protected].
