CHANGE: Congress slaps robocallers with $10,000 penalty—per call. “The new legislation allows federal authorities to seize the profits of robocall operators and assess an additional penalty of up to $10,000 per call. It also pushes telephone companies to implement SHAKEN and STIR, a suite of authentication protocols that will help the fight against robocalls.”

Good luck collecting from a bunch of criminal organizations in Pakistan or wherever, but maybe SHAKEN and STIR (cute) will do a better job of keeping robocalls from getting through.
