Relates to increasing penalties for violations involving the use of pre-recorded phone messages by telephone solicitors

This bill increases penalties for telephone solicitors who fail to disconnect pre-recorded messages when a caller hangs up. It directly affects telemarketers and businesses using automated calls that don't comply with the disconnect rule. Courts can now impose civil penalties of up to $2,000 per call (capped at $20,000 within 72 hours) for certain violations, or up to $50,000 for others. The Attorney General can enforce these penalties through court actions without requiring proof of consumer harm.
