6 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
7 SECTION 1. That Chapter 10, Title 48, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
8 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
9 ignated as Section 48-1003C, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
10 48-1003C. AUTOMATIC DIALING-ANNOUNCING DEVICE.
11 (1) When a person intends to utilize an automatic dialing-announcing
12 device to send a message by using or connecting to a telephone line, the per-
13 son must, at the outset of the message, disclose the following:
14 (a) The name of the person for whom the message is being made;
15 (b) The purpose of the message; and
16 (c) The contact information of the caller.
17 (2) As used in this section:
18 (a) "Automatic dialing-announcing device" means a device that selects and
19 dials telephone numbers and that, working alone or in conjunction with
20 other equipment, disseminates a prerecorded or synthesized voice message
21 to the telephone number called.
22 (b) "Caller" means a person who contacts, or attempts to contact, a sub-
23 scriber in this state by using an automatic dialing-announcing device.
24 (c) "Subscriber" means a person who has subscribed to telephone service

26 subscribing person.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17024
This bill adds a new section to the Telephone Solicitation Act
requiring that calls placed by an automatic dialing-announcing
device (robocalls) must state at the start of the call the name
of the person for whom the call is being made, the purpose of the
call and contact information for the caller. This will clarify
the purpose of the call in the recipient's mind and lessen
confusion.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.
