So when telemarketers pop in on New Jersey phones, they can't yada, yada, yada or give people the "it's me." The legislation has been dubbed the "Seinfeld" bill because of a famous scene from the 90s sitcom, where Jerry Seinfeld answers a phone call from a telemarketer. "My law requires the telemarketers to Give You Phone Number in the first 30 seconds of the call," he tweeted. "New Jerseyans should know who they’re talking to on the phone and what’s being sold to them by telemarketers," Bramnick said. The bill doesn't stop short in requiring telemarketers to be transparent only on phone calls.
