“This markup couldn’t have come at a better time. As individuals and families get into the full swing of the holiday season, it’s vital they are able to shop online with confidence. No one should be worried that the gifts they are buying are unsafe or illegitimate,” said RILA Senior Executive Vice President, Public Affairs Michael Hanson.
“The INFORM Consumers Act would create better transparency and accountability for consumers shopping on e-commerce platforms. We thank the sponsors of the legislation, Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) for their commitment to protecting consumers, businesses, and the retailers in their communities. This is the right legislative solution to tackle a serious and growing problem and we encourage its swift passage.”
