Comment by Ben Ray Luján
U.S. Senator from New Mexico
Congress passed much-needed legislation to protect Americans through the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but this legislation failed to provide the FCC with the legal authority to enforce the law.

REPLACEMENT for prior opinion 8424, a 2023 quote from a 118th-Congress Senate event (pre-2025). Per the freshness guideline I deleted opinion 8424 and created this March 20, 2025 quote from Sen. Ben Ray Luján, then added his "for" vote on statement 415. New quote: "Congress passed much-needed legislation to protect Americans through the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but this legislation failed to provide the FCC with the legal authority to enforce the law." Source: lujan.senate.gov press release announcing reintroduction of the FCC Legal Enforcement Act (S.1025, 119th Congress), which gives the FCC litigation authority to collect robocall fines. The source_url (senate.gov) blocks automated access (consistent 403s in this environment), but the quote, date (March 20, 2025), and bill are corroborated by web search (lujan.senate.gov, broadbandbreakfast, congress.gov S.1025). Year (2025) accurate. Vote alignment checks out: statement 415 "Directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls" with Luján voting "for" — consistent; he is a leading champion of strengthening FCC robocall enforcement. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source URL blocks automated access.
