Robo COP Act

This legislation, titled the "Robo Calls Off Phones Act" or "Robo COP Act," mandates the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to amend its existing "do-not-call" registry regulations. The primary goal is to extend the prohibition on unwanted calls to include politically-oriented recorded message telephone calls made to numbers already listed on the registry.

Specifically, the bill requires the FTC to implement these revisions within 180 days of enactment. A "politically-oriented recorded message telephone call" is defined as an outbound call where a person is unavailable to speak, and a recorded message plays. The purpose of such a call must be to promote, advertise, campaign, or solicit donations for or against any political candidate or issue, or the recorded message must include a political candidate's name.
