Lets the FCC directly enforce fines against companies making unwanted calls and create new rules to protect you.
This bill would give the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) more power to go after companies that make unwanted calls. If the Attorney General doesn't act within 120 days, the FCC could directly sue or prosecute those who haven't paid their fines. It would also let the FCC make new rules specifically to protect you from these calls.
Today, the Attorney General is solely responsible for collecting unpaid fines from companies that violate unwanted call rules. The FCC's power to make rules about automated calls isn't explicitly focused on protecting people from unwanted calls. After this bill, the FCC would be able to directly pursue unpaid fines if the Attorney General doesn't act within 120 days. It would also clearly be able to create new rules specifically to protect telephone users from unwanted calls.
