How Is This Bill Enforced
Verbatim statutory text on the left; plain-language analysis and a per-section checklist on the right. Numbered markers cross-link to the matching checklist row.
1 Section 227(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 227(d)(3)) is amended by inserting "(including those created through generative artificial intelligence (genAI), for example voice cloning, and other subsequent technologies as may be deemed appropriate by the Commission)" after "telephone".
Section 1 is the bill's sole operative provision. It amends 47 U.S.C. § 227(d)(3) — which currently directs the FCC to prescribe technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice messages delivered by telephone — by inserting a parenthetical clarifying that those standards must also cover voices created through generative artificial intelligence (including voice cloning) and other subsequent technologies the Commission deems appropriate.
The amendment is purely scope-expanding: it does not impose any new obligation on private parties, create any new defined term, or establish any new enforcement mechanism. Compliance obligations would arise only after the FCC conducts a rulemaking under this expanded mandate. The bill effectively confirms that AI-generated voice content falls within the FCC's existing TCPA standard-setting authority.
