And that is why I introduced the FTC Autonomy Act.

The era of self-regulation is over. Self-regulation has threatened our democracy and now threatens our health and our very lives.

These include the Online Consumer Protection Act which I have introduced with Representative Castor.

It's time to recommit to restoring a culture at the FTC of putting consumers first.

I agree with the principle that we need to be on top of this important area of the economy.

I think we need to make sure that we are tailoring case-specific resolutions that really ensure violations do not recur.

The American people deserve a 21st-century consumer protection agency that meets 21st-century threats.

Rules also provide clarity to businesses about what is prohibited. That allows and facilitates compliance.

A few of the bills that are being considered today will also--will allow the FTC to more efficiently--scams that target vulnerable groups.

It is time to recommit to restoring the culture and the--of the FTC to put consumers first.

I thank the chairman for all of his hard work. I appreciate it. It is not every day that we get to vote for something that will have an immediate and positive impact on our constituents like the legislation that we have before us today…

It does feel like we are--we have a lot of catching up to do.
