Wis. Lawmakers Advance Bills on Robocalls, NG-911

Wisconsin legislators advanced bills prohibiting caller ID spoofing and supporting next-generation 911 (NG-911). The Assembly Consumer Protection Committee voted unanimously to clear anti-spoofing bill AB-559 on Wednesday, one day after the Senate passed the similar SB-531. AB-559 goes next to the Assembly floor. The Assembly Finance Committee voted 12-1 Tuesday to advance AB-356, which would provide grants to support migration to NG-911 (see 2312200055). The bill is on Thursday’s Assembly floor calendar. The similar SB-371 is on the Senate’s calendar the same day.
