DO NOT Call Act

# DO NOT Call Act (HR 6449) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The DO NOT Call Act would establish or strengthen protections against unwanted telemarketing calls and robocalls.

It could also impact phone carriers and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which currently administers the Do Not Call Registry. **Current Status** As of now, HR 6449 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote by the House.
