Kari's Law Reporting Act

This bill tells the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to post a public report about how well the Kari’s Law Act of 2017 is being carried out. The report must look at whether companies that make or sell multi-line phone systems are following the law, what problems they face, how the FCC could improve its enforcement, and any ideas Congress might need to consider to fix ongoing issues. The report has to be published on the FCC’s website within 180 days after the bill becomes law.

• What changes: The FCC must publish a report summarizing compliance, challenges, possible enforcement improvements, and recommendations for Congress.
