Veterans Benefits Information Protection Act

This bill, known as the Veterans Benefits Information Protection Act , amends Section 227(b)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934 to impose new restrictions on automated telephone equipment. The legislation specifically targets calls made to telephone numbers assigned to a Federal department or agency . It prohibits the use of equipment that has the capacity to make a series of repeated calls and to provide and receive information through those calls without further human intervention after initial activation. This restriction applies when such equipment is operated by an individual or entity other than the one to whom the information provided or received during the call relates. The aim is to prevent automated systems from repeatedly engaging federal agency lines for purposes not directly tied to the individual whose information is being handled.
