DO NOT Call Act Deter Obnoxious, Nefarious, and Outrageous Telephone...
To modify the penalties for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1993.
This bill, known as the DO NOT Call Act, aims to toughen penalties for unwanted and harmful telephone calls under the existing Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1993. If passed, it would increase fines for violations, making it more costly for companies to engage in these practices. This would affect businesses that make unsolicited calls, potentially reducing the number of such calls people receive.
The bill has bipartisan support with sponsors from both the Republican and Democratic parties. It was introduced on December 4, 2025, and has already been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further review. This committee will consider the bill's merits, hold hearings, and decide whether to advance it to a vote in the full House.
The recent history of the bill shows it was introduced and referred on the same day, indicating a prompt start to its legislative journey. Moving forward, the committee will play a key role in shaping the bill's future.
