The "DO NOT Call Act" aims to significantly strengthen enforcement against violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1993 (TCPA) by establishing new criminal penalties. It introduces a general criminal offense for willful and knowing violations, punishable by up to one year of imprisonment , a fine, or both. More severe penalties, including up to three years of imprisonment , apply to aggravated offenses. These aggravated offenses include repeat convictions, initiating an extremely high volume of calls (e.g., over 100,000 in 24 hours), using calls to further a felony, or causing financial losses of $5,000 or more. The bill also expands the definition of "call" to encompass various forms of automated communications, including text messages sent without prior consent. Furthermore, it doubles the existing civil penalties for providing inaccurate caller identification information , increasing the maximum fine from $10,000 to $20,000 per violation.
