S. 1359, E-Warranty Act of 2015 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 114th
Date Requested May 20, 2015
Requested By Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Date Sent June 10, 2015
Description:

Under current law, manufacturers of consumer products must provide written warranty information to consumers at the place where those goods are purchased. S. 1359 would allow those manufacturers to make such warranty information available on the Internet and remain in compliance with the law. The bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to revise rules to reflect the new notification standards.

Based on information from the FTC, CBO estimates that implementing the rulemaking requirement in S. 1359 would not have a significant effect on discretionary costs. Enacting S. 1359 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

S. 1359 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
