S 3991 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act

This bill expands protections against unwanted robocalls by modifying the "Do Not Call" rules under the Communications Act. It removes the restriction to "residential" numbers, meaning the rules now apply to all phone numbers (including mobile and business lines), and prohibits any single robocall from an entity - not just repeated calls. The Federal Communications Commission must update its regulations within 270 days to implement these changes. This directly affects all American consumers who receive unsolicited automated calls, strengthening their ability to block such calls. The bill focuses on clarifying and broadening existing protections, not creating new penalties.
