Obama Signs E-Warranty Act Into Law

President Barack Obama signed the E-Warranty Act (S-1359) into law Thursday. “To remain competitive in the era of the Internet of Things, we must be able to streamline and modernize redundant regulations,” said Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., the bill's author, in a statement Friday. “The E-Warranty Act is a bipartisan success because it brings common-sense solutions to outdated rules.” She had introduced the legislation with Senate Commerce Committee ranking member Bill Nelson, D-Fla. “Consumers and businesses will now have the ability to take advantage of new and improving online technologies to help with their commerce,” Nelson said in a statement Friday.
