Require written consent for texts

If enacted, this bill would direct the FCC to require written prior consent for many marketing and automated text messages. It would tell the FCC to revise 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(f)(9) to match an FCC final rule published January 26, 2024. The FCC would have to complete the revision within 1 year after enactment. The revised rule would take effect beginning 18 months after enactment. The bill also says this does not mean the FCC lacked that authority before.
