Four Fischer Bills Pass Commerce Committee

Statement

This morning, the Senate Commerce Committee passed four bipartisan bills introduced by U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.). They include S. 2607, the Developing Innovation and Growing the Internet of Things (DIGIT) Act, S. 2829, the Maritime Administration Authorization and Enhancement Act of 2017, S. 2553, The Kari's Law Act, and S. 2558, The Spoofing Prevention Act of 2016. Senator Fischer released the following statement regarding passage of the bills this afternoon:

"I'm proud to see each of my bills, which generated broad bipartisan support, pass the Commerce Committee this morning. From keeping goods moving to embracing connected technologies, we can build a better economy. By updating our emergency call capabilities and correcting loopholes in consumer protection laws, we can provide some peace of mind and prevent fraud. Solutions like these are made possible through building coalitions and common sense. I hope to see these measures swiftly advance to the Senate floor for a vote."
