Starts a CPSC pilot that uses AI for at least one product-safety job. Orders a Commerce blockchain study with public input and a follow-up report. Requires an FTC report on token-related consumer protection and recommended law changes.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Consumer Safety Technology Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Latest action on H.R. 1770: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Who this affects: This affects federal agencies that would have to run the pilot and write the reports, and the people and businesses they interact with. It also affects consumers who buy products online or in stores, and anyone who uses or is targeted by scams involving blockchain-based products or tokens. The bill also pulls in experts and stakeholders because it requires consultation and public input during the pilot and study work.
Why this matters: If the CPSC pilot works well, it could change how quickly and accurately the agency spots dangerous products, recalled items being sold, or patterns in injuries—but the real effect depends on which tasks CPSC chooses and what the pilot shows. The blockchain study and the FTC token report could shape what Congress does next, because they are designed to produce public findings and legislative recommendations. At the same time, the bill is mostly about pilots and reports, so any bigger changes to enforcement or regulation would come later, if Congress or agencies act on the recommendations.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
