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.''.
SEC. 3. REPORT ON ACCURACY.
    Not later than 9 months after the enactment of this Act, the 
Federal Trade Commission shall report to Congress on efforts taken by 
the Commission, after the date of enactment of this Act, to improve the 
accuracy of the ``do-not-call'' registry.
