Summary

The Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act removes the residential‑only limitation of the Do‑Not‑Call rules, letting any telephone subscriber opt out of unwanted calls. It also enlarges the private right of action so more callers can sue violators, and it revises the definition of an automatic telephone dialing system. The FCC must issue new regulations within 270 days to implement these changes.
