Greenville New Bern Washington, NC, November 10, 2026 —

RALEIGH, NC – A coalition of 49 state attorneys general, led by North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson, has formally called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to bolster its Robocall Mitigation Database. The attorneys general are advocating for improvements to the database with the objective of more effectively preventing illegal robocalls from circulating across the nation’s telecommunications networks.

The initiative stems from widespread public frustration with the persistent volume of unsolicited and often fraudulent automated calls. By enhancing the Robocall Mitigation Database, officials aim to create a more robust system that can identify and deter individuals and entities attempting to use voice service networks for unlawful telemarketing or scam operations. The database is a key tool in tracking and blocking robocall traffic, and the attorneys general argue that its current capabilities need strengthening to meet the evolving tactics of bad actors.

Details regarding the specific enhancements proposed for the Robocall Mitigation Database were not immediately available. The attorneys general’s push highlights a continued effort by state law enforcement to combat the growing problem of illegal robocalls, which can range from nuisance telemarketing to sophisticated fraud schemes targeting consumers.

The coalition’s plea underscores the collaborative approach taken by states in addressing this national issue. The specific actions the FCC will take in response to this request, or the timeline for any potential database enhancements, have not yet been announced.
