The hearing on robocalls was held by the Commerce Committee's
Subcommittee on Communications, Media, and Broadband. Senator Ben Ray
Luj|in (D-N.M.), the subcommittee chair, said that FCC enforcement is ineffective and that Congress should give the agency more power. He
mentioned the long-standing problem that the FCC is unable to collect on
most of the robocall fines it issues.
"Scammers and fly-by-night companies are stealing American families' hard-earned dollarsrCousing our telecom networks to do sorCoand don't face
any consequences," Luj|in said. "The FCC levies fines, but fines go uncollected, and the company dissolves and moves assets elsewhere.
Congress must empower our regulators and enforcement agencies to ensure
that when an individual or a company breaks the law, they are held to
account."
