DO NOT Call Act

This bill would add criminal penalties to federal law on robocalls and automated text messages. 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 would rise to 3 years for repeat offenders, for very high call volumes, for calls meant to help commit a felony, or for violations causing $5,000 or more in losses in a year. The bill would also double the maximum penalty for sending false caller ID information from $10,000 to $20,000.
