House Passes E-Warranty Act; Bill Headed to Obama's Desk

The House passed the Senate-passed 2015 E-Warranty Act (S-1359) Tuesday 388-2. The Senate in May passed the bill, by Sens. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla. “It makes perfect sense to modernize the Federal Trade Commission's regulations to allow for the online posting of manufacturers' warranties,” said CEA CEO Gary Shapiro. Telecommunications Industry Association Senior Vice President-Government Affairs James Reid said the “bipartisan, common sense legislation will increase consumer access to important information while decreasing production costs,” and urged President Barack Obama to “quickly sign this bill into law."
