SEC. 2. PROHIBITION OF EXPIRATION DATE FOR REGISTERED NUMBERS.
The Do-Not-Call Implementation Act (15 U.S.C. 6101 note) is amended
by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 5. PROHIBITION OF EXPIRATION DATE.
``(a) No Automatic Removal of Numbers.--Telephone numbers
registered on the national `do-not-call' registry of the Telemarketing
Sales Rule (16 CFR 310.4(b)(1)(iii)) since the establishment of the
registry and telephone numbers registered on such registry after the
date of enactment of this Act, shall not be removed from such registry
except as provided for in subsection (b) or upon the request of the
individual to whom the telephone number is assigned.
``(b) Removal of Invalid, Disconnected, and Reassigned Telephone
Numbers.--The Federal Trade Commission shall periodically check
telephone numbers registered on the national `do-not-call' registry
against national or other appropriate databases and shall remove from
such registry those telephone numbers that have been disconnected and
reassigned. Nothing in this section prohibits the Federal Trade
Commission from removing invalid telephone numbers from the registry at
any time.''.
