(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on December 11, 2007. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007 - Amends the "Do-Not-Call" Implementation Act to prohibit removing numbers from the do-not-call registry unless: (1) the number is invalid, disconnected, or reassigned; or (2) the individual to whom the number is assigned so requests.

Requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to periodically check numbers on the registry and remove invalid, disconnected, or reassigned numbers.

Requires the FTC to report to Congress on the FTC's efforts, after enactment of this Act, to improve the accuracy of the registry.
