Florida Attorney General Uthmeier proposes Anti-Spam Communications Act targeting spoofed numbers and SIM farms
On September 17, 2026, Attorney General James Uthmeier proposed the Florida Anti-Spam Communications Act. The proposal targets phone and text fraud, spoofed numbers, undisclosed AI-generated voices, fake warrants, and the phone farms and SIM farms that power high-volume calling campaigns. Under the proposal, the Department of Legal Affairs would gain independent enforcement authority.
Why it matters: If enacted, this would give Florida's Department of Legal Affairs direct authority over spoofing, AI voice disclosure, and the infrastructure behind mass outbound campaigns. Any business running high-volume calls or texts into Florida should watch how this proposal defines and penalizes spoofed and AI-generated calls.
