# Keep Call Centers in America Act of 2025

Summary, written by a model from the CRS summary

Requires customer service agents to disclose their location, and requires disclosure when AI is used, with the option to transfer to a U.S.-based human agent. Businesses that move call centers overseas lose eligibility for federal grants and loans.

Model-rated AI relevance 50%: It includes an AI disclosure mandate, but its main focus is labor offshoring. (claude-opus-5-5, Oct 22, 2026)
