Take Action
Summary
The SAFE Rating Act (H.R. 1145) would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the effectiveness of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the system currently used to rate the content of video and computer games. The study would determine if these ratings accurately describe game content or if they mislead parents and consumers during the purchasing process. If the FTC finds the rating system to be deceptive or unfair, the bill authorizes the agency to take legal action and issue formal complaints against the organizations responsible for the system.
