Bill > HR6969

This bill, known as the Telling Everyone the Location of data Leaving the U.S. Act (TELL Act), requires any person that maintains an Internet website or sells/distributes a mobile application that stores information collected from such website or application in China to disclose that the information is stored and maintained in China and whether the Chinese Communist Party or a Chinese state-owned entity has access to such information. The bill makes it unlawful for the developer or publisher to knowingly provide false information regarding these disclosure requirements. Violations of this Act will be treated as unfair or deceptive acts or practices, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission with the same powers and penalties as the Federal Trade Commission Act.
