DO NOT Call Act

This bill adds criminal penalties to the federal law on unwanted robocalls and automated texts (the Telephone Consumer Protection Act). A person who willfully and knowingly breaks the law could face up to 1 year in prison, a fine, or both. The maximum prison term rises to 3 years for repeat offenders, for very large numbers of calls (such as more than 100,000 in a day), for calls meant to help commit a felony, or for calls causing $5,000 or more in losses in a year. The bill also raises the fine for providing false caller ID information from $10,000 to $20,000.
