[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Consumer Telephone Records 
Protection Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) telephone records can be of great use to criminals 
        because the information contained in call logs listed in such 
        records include a wealth of personal information;
            (2) many call logs reveal the names of many users' doctors, 
        public and private relationships, business associates, and 
        more;
            (3) although other personal information, such as social 
        security numbers may appear in public documents, which can be 
        accessed by data brokers, the only warehouse of telephone 
        records is located at the telephone companies themselves; and
            (4) telephone records may be accessed without authorization 
        of the customer by--
                    (A) an employee of the telephone company selling 
                the data;
                    (B) ``pretexting'', whereby a data broker or other 
                person pretends to be the owner of the phone and 
                convinces the telephone company's employees to release 
                the data to them; or
                    (C) unauthorized access of accounts via the 
                Internet; and
            (5) because telephone companies encourage customers to 
        manage their accounts online, many set up the online capability 
        in advance. Many customers never access their Internet 
        accounts, however. If someone seeking the information activates 
        the account before the customer, he or she can gain unfettered 
        access to the telephone records and call logs of that customer.

SEC. 3. PRIVACY PROTECTION FOR CUSTOMER INFORMATION OF 
              TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS.

    (a) Prohibition on Obtaining Customer Information by False 
Pretenses.--It shall be unlawful for any person to obtain or attempt to

        telecommunications carrier; or
            (2) by providing, through any means including the Internet, 
        any document or other information to a telecommunications 
        carrier or an officer, employee, or agent of a 
        telecommunications carrier, knowing that the document or other 
        information is forged, counterfeit, lost, or stolen, was 
        obtained fraudulently or without the customer's consent, or 
        contains a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or 
        representation.
    (b) Prohibition on Solicitation of a Person to Obtain Customer 
Information Under False Pretenses.--It shall be unlawful to request a

in the manner described in subsection (a).
    (c) Prohibition on Sale or Other Disclosure of Customer Information 
Obtained Under False Pretenses.--It shall be unlawful for any person to 
sell customer proprietary network information relating to any other 
person, knowing that such information was obtained in the manner 
described in subsection (a).
    (d) Nonapplicability to Law Enforcement Agencies.--No provision of 
this section shall be construed so as to prevent any action by a law 
enforcement agency, or any officer, employee, or agent of such agency, 
to obtain customer proprietary network information of a 
telecommunications carrier in connection with the performance of 
official duties of the agency.

SEC. 4. TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT.

    Section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 222) is 
amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (h) as subsection (i); and
            (2) by inserting after subsection (g) the following new 
        subsection:

violation of this section or section 3 of the Consumer Telephone 
Records Protection Act of 2006.''.

SEC. 5. ENFORCEMENT BY THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.

    A violation of section 3 shall be treated as an unfair or deceptive 
act or practice in violation of section 5 of the Federal Trade 
Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45). All of the functions and powers of the 
Federal Trade Commission under that Act are available to the Commission 
to enforce compliance by any person with such section, irrespective of 
whether that person is engaged in commerce or meets any other 
jurisdictional tests in the Federal Trade Commission Act, including the 
power to enforce the provisions of such section in the same manner as 
if the violation had been a violation of a Federal Trade Commission 
trade regulation rule.

SEC. 6. CRIMINAL PENALTY.

    (a) In General.--Whoever knowingly and intentionally violates 
section 3 shall be fined in accordance with title 18, United States 
Code, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.

period shall be fined twice the amount provided in section 3571 of 
title 18, or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both.

SEC. 7. DEFINITIONS.

    As used in this Act, the following definitions apply:
            (1) Customer proprietary network information.--The term 
        ``customer proprietary network information'' has the meaning 
        given such term in section 222(h)(1) of the Communications Act 
        of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 222(h)(1)).
            (2) Telecommunications carrier.--The term 
        ``telecommunications carrier'' has the meaning given such term 
        in section 3(44) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
        153(44)).
[EX A]: Consumer Telephone Records Protection Act of 2006 - Prohibits any person from obtaining or causing the disclosure of, or requesting another person to obtain, customer proprietary network information relating to another person by: (1) making a false statement to a telecommunications carrier; or (2) providing any information knowing that it is counterfeit, that it was obtained fraudulently or without the customer's consent, or that it contains a false statement. Prohibits a person from selling customer information relating to any other person knowing it was obtained in such manner.

Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require each telecommunications carrier to notify a customer when proprietary network information relating to such customer is disclosed in violation of such prohibitions.

Treats a violation as an unfair or deceptive act or practice in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Gives all of the functions and powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under that Act to the FCC to enforce compliance. Prescribes penalties, which double for violations that are part of a pattern of illegal activity.

    (c) Expedited Procedure.--
            (1) Introduction.--Not later than 3 days after the 
        President submits a legislative proposal under subsection 
        (b)(2) or (b)(3), the Majority Leaders of the Senate and the 
        House of Representatives shall introduce the proposal in their 
        respective Houses as a bill. If the bill described in the 
        preceding sentence is not introduced as provided in the 
        preceding sentence, then, on the 4th day after the submission 
        of the legislative proposal by the President, any Member of the 
        House may introduce the bill.
            (2) Referral to committee.--A bill described in paragraph 
        (1) introduced in the House of Representatives shall be 
        referred to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
        Representatives.
            A bill described in paragraph (1) introduced in the Senate 
        shall be referred to the Committee on Finance of the Senate. If 
        more than 1 bill is introduced as provided in paragraph (1), 
        the committee shall consider and report the first bill 
        introduced.
            Amendments to the bill in committee may not reduce revenues 
        in the bill below the amount proposed by the President. Such a 
        bill may not be reported before the 8th day after its 
        introduction.
            (3) Discharge of committee.--If the committee to which is 
        referred a bill described in paragraph (1) has not reported 
        such bill at the end of 15 calendar days after its 
        introduction, such committee shall be deemed to be discharged 
        from further consideration of such bill and such bill shall be 
        placed on the appropriate calendar of the House involved.
            (4) Floor consideration.--
                    (A) In general.--When the committee to which a bill 
                is referred has reported, or has been deemed to be 
                discharged (under paragraph (3)) from further 
                consideration of, a bill described in paragraph (1), it 
                is at any time thereafter in order (even though a 
                previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed 
                to) for any Member of the respective House to move to 
                proceed to the consideration of the bill, and all 
                points of order against the bill (and against 
                consideration of the bill) are waived. The motion is 
                highly privileged in the House of Representatives and 
                is privileged in the Senate and is not debatable. The 
                motion is not subject to amendment, or to a motion to 
                postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the 
                consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider 
                the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed 
                to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the 
                consideration of the bill is agreed to, the bill shall 
                remain the unfinished business of the respective House 
                until disposed of.
                    (B) Debate.--Consideration of the bill, and on all 
                debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, 
                shall be limited to not more than 20 hours, which shall 
                be divided equally between those favoring and those 
                opposing the bill. A motion further to limit debate is 
                in order and not debatable. A motion to postpone, or a 
                motion to proceed to the consideration of other 
                business, or a motion to recommit the bill is not in 
                order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the 
                bill is agreed to or disagreed to is not in order. 
                Debate on amendments to the bill shall be limited to 30 
                minutes equally divided. Amendments to the bill may not 
                reduce revenues in the bill below the amount proposed 
                by the President.
                    (C) Vote on final passage.--Immediately following 
                the conclusion of the debate on a bill described in 
                paragraph (1), and a single quorum call at the 
                conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance 
                with the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on 
                final passage of the bill shall occur.
                    (D) Rulings of the chair on procedure.--Appeals 
                from the decisions of the Chair relating to the 
                application of the rules of the Senate or the House of 
                Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure 
                relating to a bill described in paragraph (1) shall be 
                decided without debate.
            (5) Coordination with action by other house.--If, before 
        the passage by one House of a bill of that House described in 
        paragraph (1), that House receives from the other House a bill 
        described in paragraph (1), then the following procedures shall 
        apply:
                    (A) The bill of the other House shall not be 
                referred to a committee.
                    (B) With respect to a bill described in paragraph 
                (1) of the House receiving the bill--
                            (i) the procedure in that House shall be 
                        the same as if no bill had been received from 
                        the other House; but
                            (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on 
                        the bill of the other House.
            (6) Rules of house of representatives and senate.--This 
        subsection is enacted by Congress--
                    (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the 
                Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and 
                as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House, 
                respectively, but applicable only with respect to the 
                procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a 
                bill described in paragraph (1), and it supersedes 
                other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent 
                with such rules; and
                    (B) with full recognition of the constitutional 
                right of either House to change the rules (so far as 
                relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, 
                in the same manner and to the same extent as in the 
                case of any other rule of that House.
    (d) Deficit Reduction if Tax Reductions or Social Security Reforms 
Are Not Enacted.--If tax reductions or social security reforms are not 
enacted by December 31 of the year of the submission of a legislative 
proposal under subsection (b)(2), the President shall pay an amount 
equal to the amount by which revenues are not reduced to deficit 
reduction as provided in subsection (b)(1).
    (e) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
``stimulative economic effect of any laws reducing revenues'' refers to 
laws that have the effect of stimulating savings, investment, job 
creation, and economic growth.
    (f) MDA Point of Order.--Section 605(b) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974 is amended to read as follows:
            ``(1) Maximum deficit point of order.--
                    ``(A) In general.--It shall not be in order in the 
                House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any 
                bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report 
                that includes any provision that would result in a 
                deficit for a fiscal year.
                    ``(B) Waiver or suspension.--This subsection may be 
                waived or suspended in the House of Representatives or 
                the Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths 
                of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.''.

[EX A]:
Taxpayer Protection Lock-box Act of 1999 - Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to maintain a Taxpayer Protection Lock-box Ledger which shall be divided into entries corresponding to the subcommittees of the Committees on Appropriations.  Requires each entry to consist of three parts: (1) the House Lock-box Balance; (2) the Senate Lock-box Balance; and (3) the Joint House-Senate Lock-box Balance.  Requires the CBO Director, upon the engrossment of any appropriation bill by the House of Representatives and upon the engrossment of that bill by the Senate, to credit to the applicable entry balance of that House amounts of new budget authority and outlays equal to the net amounts of reductions in new budget authority and in outlays resulting from amendments agreed to by that House to that bill.  Specifies the amounts to be credited to the Joint House-Senate Lock-box Balance. 
(Sec. 3) Requires a running tally to be available to Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, during the consideration of any appropriations bill, of the amendments adopted reflecting increases and decreases of budget authority in such bill as reported. 
(Sec. 4) Provides for the downward adjustment of: (1) allocations for the House and Senate upon the engrossment of House or Senate amendments to any appropriation bill; and (2) suballocations, whenever a such a downward adjustment is made to an allocation. 
(Sec. 5) Requires the CBO Director to include an up-to-date tabulation of the amounts contained in the Taxpayer Protection Lock-box Ledger and each entry in periodic reports. 
(Sec. 6) Requires the downward adjustment of discretionary spending limits by amounts set forth in the final regular appropriation bill for the fiscal year or joint resolution making continuing appropriations through the end of such fiscal year. Provides that such amounts shall be the sums of the Joint House-Senate Lock-box Balances for that fiscal year. 
(Sec. 8) Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to calculate stimulative effect (effect of stimulating savings, investment, job creation, and economic growth) by determining the amount by which actual revenues exceed specified projected levels of revenues for FY 1999 through 2009 and to estimate the amount of the excess (fiscal dividend excess) attributable to provisions of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 reducing revenues.  Provides for CBO certification of such estimates and projections or the submission of revised estimates by CBO in the case of disagreement. 
Authorizes the President, if the OMB Director determines that a fiscal dividend excess exists, to: (1) direct the Secretary of the Treasury to pay an amount not exceeding such excess to retire U.S. debt obligations; (2) submit a legislative proposal to the Congress for reducing taxes by the amount of excess not dedicated to deficit reduction; or (3) submit a legislative proposal to the Congress for saving social security by the amount of the excess not dedicated to deficit reduction or tax relief.  Sets forth an expedited procedure for consideration of such proposals. 
Directs the President, if tax reductions or social security reforms are not enacted by December 31 of the year of the submission of a legislative proposal for reducing taxes, to pay an amount equal to the amount by which revenues are not reduced to deficit reduction.
