Washington D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee Chair Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) today announced a subcommittee markup of three bills. 

"The days of Big Tech collecting unlimited data points on individuals and manipulating Americans online are numbered. It’s time for a reset of the internet ecosystem. The American Privacy Rights Act will usher in a new era by giving people the right to control their own data by reclaiming their identities and restoring America’s founding principles of freedom and self-determination,” said Chairs Rodgers and Bilirakis. “We also look forward to advancing critical policies to protect kids online and to ensure people continue to have access to A.M. radio. The Energy and Commerce Committee has a rich history of advancing important legislation in a bipartisan way, and we look forward to building on that legacy this week."
