Foreign Robocall Elimination Act

This bill gives the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) new tools to fight illegal robocalls, especially ones coming from other countries. It allows the FCC to require some phone companies to put up a financial bond before they can operate on the U.S. phone network, particularly if those companies can't show they run legitimate businesses or can pay fines. The bill also gives more power and legal protection to the group that tracks where illegal robocalls come from, including letting that group publicly name phone companies involved in sending or allowing illegal robocalls. Finally, it creates a government task force focused specifically on dealing with robocalls that come from outside the United States.
