Cracks down on robocallers with new criminal charges and higher fines.
This bill would create new criminal penalties for people who knowingly break rules against unwanted calls. It would also double the fines for those who use fake caller ID. This aims to reduce the number of annoying and deceptive calls for everyday Americans.
Currently, people who make unwanted calls or use fake caller ID primarily face civil penalties, such as fines up to $10,000 for inaccurate caller ID. There are no specific criminal penalties for general knowing violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. If this bill becomes law, those who knowingly break the rules could face criminal charges, including up to 3 years in prison for serious offenses. The maximum civil fine for using fake caller ID would also double from $10,000 to $20,000 per violation.
