H.Res. 1374
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' position that parents need clearer and more detailed information about the content of television and video programming to make informed decisions about what their children watch. The resolution calls on the Federal Communications Commission to develop a modernized ratings system that works across traditional broadcast, cable, streaming, and on-demand services, with descriptions that are neutral, objective, and specific enough to help families distinguish between different types of content. The resolution also urges that the body overseeing the ratings system include meaningful participation from parents, child advocacy groups, and other public interest representatives alongside industry members, and that the ratings process be more transparent and accountable. Additionally, the resolution encourages the FCC to promote public awareness of parental control tools available to families. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the sense of Congress rather than legislation that creates new laws or funding programs.
