Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act

This bill would change federal Do Not Call rules so they cover all telephone subscribers, not only residential lines. It would let a person sue over a single call that violates the 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, so the damages amount would be a set figure rather than a maximum. It would also expand the definition of an automatic telephone dialing system to include equipment that dials numbers from a list without human intervention. The Federal Communications Commission would have 270 days to update its regulations.
