End Robocalls: New Rules for All Phone Subscribers

This act expands protection against unwanted telephone calls, known as robocalls, to all phone subscribers, not just residential ones. This means companies will not be able to call you without your consent, and you will have greater ability to enforce your rights if these rules are violated. The goal is to reduce the number of annoying and often fraudulent calls.
Key points
Protection against unwanted calls (robocalls) will now cover all telephone subscribers, including businesses and institutions, not just private individuals.
It will be easier to seek damages for unwanted calls, as the act simplifies filing lawsuits against entities violating the rules.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will be required to update its regulations to reflect these changes within 270 days of the act's enactment.
