Senator Bill Nelson, D-Fla.

“The Phone Scam Prevention Act of 2014 seeks to address this critical issue by directing the [FCC] to develop authentication standards within 5 years to ensure caller-ID information is accurate, or warn consumers when such information cannot be verified.” The bill “provides the impetus to speed that process up,” directed at the Secure Telephone Identity Revisited Working Group, the summary page said. Nelson is expected to lead Democrats on the Commerce Committee in the next Congress and currently chairs the Special Committee on Aging.
