Telemarketers targeting New Jersey residents will be required to provide the telephone numbers of the people on whose behalf their calls are being made. Gov. Phil Murphy signed the 'Seinfeld bill' into law Monday. It aims to protect people from scams and cut down on unsolicited calls. Telemarketers already must identify themselves and the purpose of their call within 30 seconds.
In a meeting with telecom operators, the authority told telcos to analyse the issue of call muting and one way speech and take corrective action on priority.

A New Jersey state Senate bill, nicknamed the 'Seinfeld bill,' would require telemarketers to identify their employer and provide contact information to recipients. The bill advanced out of the state Senate Commerce Committee last week and will be voted on by the state Senate in the coming weeks.
