Do Not Disturb Act
HR 7116, the Do Not Disturb Act, updates federal rules to combat robocalls and deceptive telemarketing. The bill requires clear disclosure when AI is used to mimic human voices in calls or messages, enhances penalties for AI impersonation scams, and mandates free robocall-blocking services for consumers. It also creates a tracking system for the top 100 illegal robocall campaigns and expands telemarketing regulations to include text messages, applying to telecommunications providers, VoIP services, and businesses making automated calls or sending text messages.
