Summary
Support Tools to Obliterate Pesky Robocalls Act or the STOP Robocalls Act This bill provides measures to eliminate unlawful robocalls.

In addition, the bill authorizes a telecommunications company to provide a free, opt-in robocall blocking service to its customers. The FCC must also study and report on whether a Voice Over Internet Protocol service should be required to provide the FCC with its contact information and retain records of all calls transmitted over the service.
