Video Game Decency Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Video Game Decency Act (H.R.6120) is a proposed new U.S. video game legislation introduced by Congressman Fred Upton on September 29, 2006. [1] The aim of the legislation is "To prohibit deceptive acts and practices in the content rating and labeling of video games".[2]
Some think it is similar to the Truth in Video Game Rating Act, and question the constitutional authority of the Federal Government to pass such a law.
