CBO Scores E-Warranty Act of 2015

The E-Warranty Act of 2015 (S 1359) would allow manufactures of consumer products to make written warranty information available on the Internet and remain in compliance with the law. Under current law, manufacturers of consumer products must provide written warranty information to consumers at the place where those goods are purchased.

The bill would require the Federal Trade Commission to revise rules to reflect the new notification standards. The Congressional Budget Office 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.
