The Senate voted unanimously on Thursday to approve legislation passed by the House earlier this month to tackle robocalls, sending the bill to the president's desk.

According to a source familiar with Trump's plans, the president is expected to sign the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act, named after its sponsors in the House and Senate, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) and Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).

Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) told reporters Thursday that the bill is likely to be "signed into law the next week or so."
