Device E-Labeling Bill Heads to the White House

The House approved the Senate version of the E-Label Act (S-2583) Nov. 13 by unanimous voice vote. It had already approved its own companion version of the legislation. The bill would allow device manufacturers to include a required Federal Communications Commission label digitally rather than on the physical device. The legislation now advances for White House signature to become law. "I am confident the FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology will do a great job updating our labeling rules," said bill author Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., in a statement following the House approval (here).
