The E-Label Act (S-2583) is among the dozen items the Senate Commerce Committee will consider at its Wednesday afternoon executive session, said an agenda the committee released Friday. The House unanimously passed the E-Label Act last week, much to industry satisfaction. “By granting device manufacturers the ability to use eLabels, the legislation eases the technical and logistical burdens on manufacturers and improves consumer access to important device information,” said Telecommunications Industry Association President Grant Seiffert in a statement after the House passage. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., is one of the backers of the Senate version of the E-label bill.
