Indiana lawmakers want to stop all those annoying robocalls.
(Indianapolis, Ind.) - State lawmakers are discussing robocall concerns.
They met at the Statehouse in Indianapolis to discuss how to disconnect such calls.
Indiana Senior Deputy Attorney General Marguerite Sweeney said some departments are looking at potential solutions.
“What they propose is that caller ID would have authentication similar to other software and social media like Twitter where you get a blue check mark to prove that you are really who you are,” Sweeney told lawmakers.
Indiana's Attorney General's Office says they received nearly 4,000 complaints of unwanted calls so far in 2018, with 68 percent of those being robocalls.
Republican State Representative Jeff Ellington (R-Bloomington) is working on a bill that would double penalties for those who break Indiana's Do Not Call Law.
