## Key Takeaways

- The Keep Call Centers in America Act is not yet law. S. 2495 and H.R. 4954 remain in committee with no floor vote as of September 2026.2
- Covered employers with 50 or more employees or 1,500 or more weekly call-center hours would face a 120-day DOL advance notice requirement and up to $10,000 per day in penalties if they offshore 30% or more of call volume.
- Non-compliance would trigger public listing on a DOL offshoring registry, five-year ineligibility for federal grants and loans, and potential monthly penalties equal to 8.3% of existing federal awards.
- Offshore agents would need to disclose their location and AI use at the start of every call and provide customers an immediate transfer to a U.S.-based human agent upon request.
- Plura AI provides a 100% U.S.-infrastructure AI communications platform that removes offshore exposure by design while supporting compliance and operational continuity.

## Current Status Of The Keep Call Centers In America Act

No. The Keep Call Centers in America Act remains in committee and has not been enacted. [S. 2495 sits in the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee](https://remotehero.us/blog/outsourcing-to-the-philippines), and H.R. 4954 is pending in multiple House committees. [Neither S. 2495 nor its companion bills has had a floor vote as of September 2026.](https://remotehero.us/blog/outsourcing-to-the-philippines) [The FCC’s CG Docket No. 26-52 is an NPRM issued March 27, 2026, following a March 26, 2026 commission vote.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) It is proposed rulemaking, not a final rule.2

Prudent operators still quantify exposure now. Calculate offshore call volume against the 30% test, confirm headcount and weekly hours against the 50-employee or 1,500-hours threshold, and start a compliance file before the bill advances.

## Core Offshoring Rules In The Keep Call Centers In America Act

Each rule below is drawn from S. 2495 as introduced. These are proposed requirements, not currently enforceable obligations.

![Screenshot of Plura’s fully compliant AI communications platform showing business registration and phone number provisioning workflows for AI Voice, SMS, RCS, and Webchat communication automation.](https://cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co/1779337911454-8c3a9645d906.png)**Plura’s FCC-licensed AI communications platform simplifies compliant business registration and phone number provisioning for AI Voice, SMS, RCS, and Webchat workflows.**

1. **120-Day Advance Notice.** [Employers must notify the DOL at least 120 days before relocating call-center work offshore or outsourcing 30% or more of call volume.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) [Civil penalty for failure: up to $10,000 per day.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) (S. 2495)
2. **30% Offshore Call-Volume Test.** [Coverage triggers when offshore call volume exceeds 30% of the employer’s preceding 12-month average.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) (S. 2495)
3. **50-Employee / 1,500-Hours-Per-Week Coverage Threshold.** [The bill applies to employers with at least 50 employees or 1,500 hours per week of call-center work.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) (S. 2495)
4. **Public DOL Offshoring List.** [The DOL would maintain a public list of employers that offshore 30% or more of call-center work](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us). [Companies placed on that list would be ineligible for federal grants and guaranteed loans for five years.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) (S. 2495)
5. **Federal Grant and Loan Ineligibility.** [Companies on the DOL list become ineligible for federal grants and guaranteed loans](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us). [Under the proposed Keep Call Centers in America Act of 2025, employers with existing federal awards who remain on the list for one year may face monthly penalties equal to 8.3% of the total award already disbursed and, in some cases, cancellation of those awards.](https://natlawreview.com/article/talk-human-or-pay-price-congress-proposes-call-center-bill-mandating-ai-and) (S. 2495)
6. **Customer Location and AI Disclosure.** [Offshore agents must state their physical location and whether AI is handling the interaction at the start of the call.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) (S. 2495)
7. **Right to Transfer.** [Customers may request immediate transfer to a U.S.-based human agent.](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us) (S. 2495)

## The 120-Day Advance Notice Rule And Daily Penalties

The first rule in that list, the 120-day advance notice requirement, carries the steepest per-day penalty. [S. 2495 would require employers to give 120 days’ advance notice to the Labor Secretary before moving or contracting call-center work overseas](https://remotehero.us/blog/outsourcing-to-the-philippines), with [a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day for skipping that notice](https://creditandcollectionnews.com/fcc-adopts-efforts-to-bring-telecom-call-centers-back-to-the-us). The clock starts when the decision to relocate or outsource is made, not when the offshore arrangement goes live.

That timing matters because covered employers would need to file before signing a BPO contract, not after implementation. Two details determine whether the requirement applies:

- **Who must file:** employers meeting the 50-employee or 1,500-hours coverage threshold.
- **What triggers the clock:** a decision to relocate call-center work offshore or to outsource 30% or more of call volume.

This is a proposed requirement and is not currently enforceable.

## Coverage Tests And A Practical Self-Assessment

The bill’s definitions translate directly into operational questions for your team. Run these against your own operation before your next BPO contract renewal:

- Does your offshore call volume exceed 30% of your preceding 12-month average?
- Do you have 50 or more employees, or 1,500 or more hours per week of call-center work?
- Have you documented a 120-day DOL notice workflow in case the bill passes?
- Do you disclose agent location and AI use to customers at the start of each call?
- Does your transfer process route customers immediately to a U.S.-based human agent on request?
- Do you have a compliance file with bill sections, coverage calculations, and disclosure scripts?

If any answer is uncertain, that gap becomes a priority before the bill moves. Consult qualified counsel for guidance specific to your operation.

## The Public DOL Offshoring List And Removal Conditions

Listed companies would appear on a public Department of Labor registry and lose eligibility for federal grants and federal contracts. Under S. 2495, each employer on the DOL public list remains on it for a period not to exceed 5 years after each instance of relocating a call center or contracting call center work overseas. Removal from the DOL list under S. 2495 requires either relocating an offshored call center back to the United States with a new U.S. call center employing at least as many employees as the original, or, for employers who contracted call center work overseas, amending the contract to require that all employees performing that work be located in the United States.

The bill requires relocation or contract changes rather than a pay-and-stay option. The reputational exposure of a public federal list compounds the financial consequences. Procurement officers, investors, and enterprise customers routinely screen federal contractor lists as part of vendor due diligence.

## Federal Funding And Contracting Consequences

[Companies on the DOL list would lose eligibility for federal grants and federally guaranteed loans while listed.](https://remotehero.us/blog/outsourcing-to-the-philippines) [Under the bill as proposed, a company on the DOL offshoring list with existing federal awards may face monthly penalties equal to 8.3% of the total award already disbursed, and possible cancellation of those awards if it remains on the list for one year.](https://natlawreview.com/article/talk-human-or-pay-price-congress-proposes-call-center-bill-mandating-ai-and) [Under H.R. 7583, federal contract performance requirements (Sec. 304, federal contractor compliance with labor and civil rights laws) would apply to covered employers, defined in Sec. 202 by amending Section 701(b) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to lower the employee threshold from fifteen to one](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-119hr7583ih/html/BILLS-119hr7583ih.htm), meaning an offshore call-center arrangement could disqualify a company from competing for or retaining federal work.

These consequences interact. A company that misses the 120-day notice window can face the per-day penalty, the public listing, and the funding consequences at the same time.

## Customer Disclosure And Right-To-Transfer Mandates

Under the proposed bill, call-center workers would need to tell customers where the call center is located and whether artificial intelligence is being used, and would have to transfer the customer to a U.S.-based call center if the customer requests it. These disclosure requirements interact with a growing set of state-level onshoring and disclosure laws. New York’s Call Center Jobs Act carries penalties of up to $10,000 per day for covered violations. New Jersey has a mirror statute. Connecticut restricts offshore handling on state contracts. Missouri issued an executive order requiring offshore disclosure. Florida restricts offshore handling of medical information.2

Operators with multi-state call-center operations face layered disclosure obligations regardless of whether the federal bill passes. Consult qualified counsel for the specific requirements applicable to your operation in each state.

## Exceptions And Waivers In The Keep Call Centers In America Act

The bill’s text references exceptions for national security, substantial U.S. job losses, and environmental harm. Any statutory exceptions or waivers would only become relevant after enactment and implementation. No waiver process is currently operative or enforceable because the bill has not passed.

Operationally, this means operators cannot treat a potential exception as a planning assumption today. The national security exception would likely require a formal determination by a relevant federal agency. The substantial U.S. job losses and environmental harm exceptions suggest a waiver petition process, but the bill does not specify the administering agency, the petition timeline, or the evidentiary standard. Operators with potential exception arguments will need to build that record before the bill moves.

## How The FCC Offshore Proceeding Differs From The Bill

The table below shows where the bill and the FCC proceeding diverge on scope, penalties, and disclosure duties, so you can see which obligations could apply to your operation under each track.

| Attribute | Keep Call Centers in America Act (S. 2495 / H.R. 4954) | FCC Proposed Rules (CG Docket No. 26-52) |

- Document a 120-day notice workflow in case the bill passes.
- Audit customer disclosure practices for agent location and AI use at the start of each call.
- Verify your right-to-transfer process routes immediately to a U.S.-based human agent.
- Build a compliance file with bill sections, coverage calculations, and disclosure scripts.
- Evaluate U.S.-infrastructure AI platforms that remove offshore exposure by architecture.

## Conclusion: Moving Toward Zero Offshore Exposure

None of the bill’s core requirements are law yet, but the compliance clock is already running. The FCC’s parallel proceeding under CG Docket No. 26-52 and a growing set of state onshoring laws in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida already push covered employers away from offshore call-center arrangements. Waiting for enactment before assessing exposure compresses timelines and increases risk.

Plura AI removes that exposure by architecture. Plura is an FCC-licensed, 100% U.S.-infrastructure AI communications platform. Its [AI voice agent](https://plura.ai/ai-voice-demo?utm_source=ai-growth-agent&utm_term=keep-call-centers-act-rules), [AI SMS](https://plura.ai/ai-sms-leads?utm_source=ai-growth-agent&utm_term=keep-call-centers-act-rules), and AI RCS share a Stateful Conversation Database, so every channel inherits the full memory of every prior touchpoint. Plura owns its own FCC-licensed audio bridging carrier, issuing branded caller ID at the carrier level, running STIR/SHAKEN authentication on every outbound call, and enforcing real-time DNC scrubbing, TCPA-litigator screening, automated quiet hours, and immutable consent logging inside the platform on every outbound contact.1 Voice origination, model hosting, data storage, and call recording all sit on domestic infrastructure. That architecture is what removes the offshore exposure.

For operators with an offshore BPO contract up for renewal and a CEO asking about exposure, the answer starts with the self-assessment checklist above and often ends with a platform that avoids offshore risk entirely. See how the [cost comparison between U.S.-based AI and offshore BPO](https://www.plura.ai/articles/us-based-call-center-savings/?utm_source=ai-growth-agent&utm_term=keep-call-centers-act-rules) plays out in 2026, and explore [Plura’s plans and rates](https://plura.ai/pricing?utm_source=ai-growth-agent&utm_term=keep-call-centers-act-rules) to understand what the switch looks like operationally.
