DO NOT Call Act

This bill (S 3324) increases penalties for violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1993. It adds criminal penalties for intentional telemarketing violations, including up to 1 year in prison for basic offenses and up to 3 years for aggravated cases (like making over 10 million calls yearly, causing $5,000+ in losses, or targeting felonies). It also raises civil penalties for false caller ID information from $10,000 to $20,000 per violation. The bill directly affects telemarketers, robocallers, and businesses making unsolicited calls, strengthening enforcement against abusive calling practices.
