The [[United States]] '''Truth in Video Game Rating Act (S.3935)''' is a [[Bill (proposed law)|bill]] introduced by Senator [[Sam Brownback]] (R-KS) on [[September 27]], [[2006]]. The act would require the [[ESRB]] to have access to the full content of and hands-on time with the games it was to rate, rather than simply relying on the video demonstrations submitted by developers and publishers.<ref>{{cite web | title=Senate Proposes New ESRB Legislation | url=http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=11030 | work = [[Gamasutra]] | accessdate=September 27 | accessyear=2006 }}</ref>. |

The bill makes no considerations for [[mod (computer gaming)|mods]], [[Mod (computer_gaming)#Total_conversion|total conversion]]s, [[user generated content]], [[procedurally generated content]], unused disc space, blocked/disabled out portions of code, player behavior in online games, and various other factors out of the control of the developers (such as how the player decides to play the game). |
|||
Some question the constitutional authority of the Federal Government to pass such a law. |
