 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Requires Congress, in addressing issues of information technology and electronic commerce policy, to: (1) focus on a broad spectrum of issues essential to the evolution and strength of the American information technology industry; (2) ensure that it plays an enabling and not inhibiting role in supporting the movement of industry and people into the Information Age; (3) incorporate a principle of minimal and predictable government regulation; and (4) refrain from actions that would enshrine or favor specific technologies or standards.
