This week, the
House Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection Subcommittee approved
the State of Modern Application, Research, and Trends of Internet of Things Act,
or the “Smart IoT Act” (H.R. 6032), which will now proceed to a markup in the
full committee. The Smart IoT Act would create a one-stop shop for industry
best practices and standards, analyze the federal government’s need for IoT devices
and services, and avoid duplicative regulations that could slow innovation.
Subcommittee
Chairman Bob Latta (R-OH) made the following statement:
“The SMART IoT Act is a critical first step to future IoT policy efforts. As we
serve on this subcommittee, we have the opportunity to look 5 years, and
farther, into the future to see where technology is headed. We have an
obligation to do what we can to promote innovation, American competitiveness
and technological advancements that benefit consumers. The SMART IoT Act does
just that.”
