Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that parents should be provided clear, accurate, and useful information about the content of video programming so they can make informed decisions for their children.

This resolution states the House of Representatives' view on TV and video content ratings for parents. It calls on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to encourage a modernized ratings system covering broadcast, cable, streaming, and on-demand video, with content descriptions that are neutral, objective, and specific. It asks the FCC to make the ratings process more transparent, including how ratings are assigned, reviewed, and challenged, and urges that the body overseeing ratings include parents and child advocates alongside industry. It also encourages the FCC to promote awareness of parental control tools and says Congress should consider legislation if more legal authority is needed. The resolution does not itself change the law.
