Protecting Consumers from Robocalls: Expanding the Do Not Call Registry Scope
This Act expands protection against unwanted automated calls (robocalls) to include all telephone subscribers, moving beyond just residential users. This means business and commercial phone lines can also be protected by the 'Do Not Call' rules. Furthermore, citizens gain an expanded right to take legal action after receiving just one unwanted call, making it easier to combat persistent telemarketers.
Key points
The 'Do Not Call' rules will now cover all telephone subscribers, including business and commercial lines, not just residential users.
Citizens can pursue legal action against an entity after receiving a single unwanted call, removing the previous requirement of multiple calls within a 12-month period.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is mandated to revise regulations within 270 days to implement these stronger consumer protections.
