This hearing will get underway. My apologies for being tardy. Im running around a lot today but thank you all for your patience and welcome to todays hearing on the telephone Consumer Protection act. When passing tcpa 25 years ago congress sought a balanced approach that protects the privacy of individuals and permitted legitimate telemarketing practices. A as a result a number of telemarketing pract is have been significantly reduced or eliminates. For example companies have to maintain donotcall list and could not make solicitation calls before 8 00 a. M. Or after 9 00 p. M. But tcpa is showing its age and there are opportunities to build on the consumer benefits and ensuring consumers fully benefit from modern communications. Consumers should be able to take advantage of technology to help them fall victim to actors though those who ignore do not call requirements. I doubt there is a person in this room whos that not received a recorded mobile voice call telling them theyve won a cr

There are police at the front end of the march protecting them from traffic and police back here on the back end making sure cars dont come up on the scene. Theyre securing the intersections. If you look back behind me, there are guys with the yellow vests, also directing traffic to protect the demonstrators as they come and go.
