Chamber of Origin: HouseCongress: 119thRoll Call Number: 109 | Session Number: 1
The Informing Consumers about Smart Devices Act mandates that manufacturers of internet-connected devices disclose the presence of cameras or microphones to consumers before purchase. This aims to increase transparency regarding device capabilities. The Act tasks the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) with enforcement and requires the FTC to provide guidance to manufacturers on compliance. Certain devices, such as phones and laptops, are exempt. The law applies to devices manufactured after the FTC issues its guidance, ensuring manufacturers have time to adapt.1
