The goal is to deter unwanted and potentially harmful telephone calls, including robocalls and spam messages, which have become a significant nuisance for consumers. Key provisions of this law include the introduction of criminal penalties for willful violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Offenders could face up to one year in prison or fines for general violations.
