Summary

Telephone Privacy Act of 1991 - Amends the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 to permit the use of caller identification systems (i.e., devices which allow the recipient of a telephone call to determine individually identifying information about the caller or the originating number) if the provider enables the telephone call originator to block receipt of the identifying information.
