Directs the Federal Communications Commission to create a taskforce that studies unlawful robocalls made into the United States from abroad, allows the agency to require bonds from some providers in its robocall database, and shields the private trace back consortium from certain lawsuits.

• Requires the FCC, after consulting the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General, to establish a taskforce within 270 days of enactment to study robocalls originating outside the United States and recommend ways to combat them.
• Sets the taskforce membership to include federal agency representatives and seven private sector representatives, requires a report to Congress within 360 days after the taskforce is established, and ends the taskforce 90 days after that report.
• Requires the FCC to set rules for posting a bond of up to $100,000 before a provider files a certification to the Robocall Mitigation Database when needed to preserve its integrity, with exemptions for established, regulated providers.
• Bars lawsuits against the registered consortium for receiving, sharing, or publishing trace back information on suspected illegal calls, and changes the consortium notice schedule in the TRACED Act from annually to once every 3 years.
