The DO NOT Call Act of 2025 strengthens penalties for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which regulates unwanted calls and text messages. The bill adds new criminal penalties for people who willfully violate telemarketing laws, creating a baseline punishment of up to one year in prison and fines, with enhanced penalties of up to three years in prison for serious violations involving prior convictions, massive call volumes (over 100,000 calls in 24 hours or 1 million in 30 days), intent to further felonies, or financial losses exceeding $5,000. The legislation also doubles the existing civil penalties for providing false caller identification information, increasing fines from $10,000 to $20,000 per violation. This bill affects telemarketers, scammers, and robocallers while protecting consumers from unwanted calls and texts. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines beyond the penalty structure itself.
