Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act

This bill would change federal Do Not Call rules under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act so they cover all telephone subscribers, not only residential ones. It would let a person sue over a single call that violates those rules, instead of requiring more than one call from the same entity within 12 months. It would remove the words "up to" from the damages provision for these lawsuits. It would also change the legal definition of an "automatic telephone dialing system" to include equipment that dials from a list of numbers successively without human intervention. The Federal Communications Commission would have 270 days to update its regulations to match.
