This bill makes it illegal to manipulate caller identification by displaying a fake or misleading name or phone number when contacting someone, with limited exceptions for authorized use. The violation is a Class 1 misdemeanor, and the law applies both to people who directly make such calls and those who knowingly allow their phone or communication device to be used this way.
