I’m proud to co-lead the Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act because no one should be scammed out of their life savings and we urgently need to strengthen protections for individuals as well as small businesses.
Kevin Mullin will work to strengthen federal protections against illegal robocalls, including by co-leading legislation that gives consumers and small businesses stronger enforcement rights.
Occurrences
Evidence
Last Action Date Listed: April 15, 2026. Action: Ms. Schakowsky (for herself and Mr. Mullin) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. Cosponsors: Kevin Mullin (CA). Full title: To expand the scope of the Do Not Call rules under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act to include all telephone subscribers, to expand the private right of action for calls in violation of those rules, and to modify the definition of the term automatic telephone dialing system.
U.S. Representative Kevin Mullin ... today reintroduced the Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act, a bill that would help end the plague of illegal robocalls in America. The legislation would give the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Do-Not-Call Registry teeth by providing all telephone subscribers, including small businesses, the ability to seek damages for all unconsented-to telemarketing calls immediately after such a call.
Assessments
Mullin has materially acted on the promise during his current federal term by co-leading and cosponsoring the Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act, which directly targets illegal robocalls and would expand enforcement rights for consumers and small businesses. However, the evidence only shows introduction and committee referral on April 15, 2026, not enactment or completed strengthening of federal protections. Because the legislative effort is still pending rather than clearly failed or delivered, the outcome remains unresolved with an effort badge.
