Bill > S3370

This bill, known as the DO NOT Call Act (Deter Obnoxious, Nefarious, and Outrageous Telephone Calls Act of 2025), proposes significant criminal penalties for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1993, specifically targeting illegal robocalls and spam communications. The bill introduces criminal penalties where individuals who willfully violate telephone communication regulations can be imprisoned for up to one year and fined, with enhanced penalties for aggravated offenses. An aggravated offense occurs if the violator has a previous conviction, initiates an extremely high volume of calls (over 100,000 in 24 hours, 1 million in 30 days, or 10 million in a year), commits the offense to further a felony, or causes financial losses exceeding $5,000. The bill broadly defines "calls" to include automated telephone calls, text messages, and communications to North American phone numbers, particularly those sent without recipient consent. Additionally, the legislation increases financial penalties for providing inaccurate caller identification information, doubling the maximum fine from $10,000 to $20,000. The primary goal is to deter and punish aggressive and unauthorized telecommunications practices that harass or potentially harm consumers.
