House of Representatives
1. CELLULAR PHONE PRIVACY
The House passed a bill bolstering criminal laws that protect the privacy of wireless communications such as cellular phone calls. It also toughened a ban on altering scanners for use in illegal interception of calls. A "yes" vote backed the bill.
Vote: Passed, 402-3, on Feb. 25, 1999
2. Y2K LAWSUITS
The House passed a bill to curb lawsuits against companies based on Year 2000 computer problems. A "yes" vote was to pass the bill over objections it denied basic legal rights and left companies unaccountable for misconduct.
Vote: Passed, 236-190, on May 12, 1999
3. ALCOHOL SALES VIA INTERNET
The House voted to allow states to get U.S. court injunctions to block the direct sale of out-of-state alcoholic beverages to their residents. A "yes" vote was to pass a bill aimed at wineries and microbreweries that sell via the Internet.
Vote: Passed, 310-112, on Aug. 3, 1999
4. LOCAL TV SIGNALS
The House passed a bill providing a $1.24 billion in loan guarantees to finance the delivery of local TV signals to satellite subscribers in smaller markets. Direct broadcast satellite services would use the taxpayer backing to build infrastructure for serving remote areas. A "yes" vote was to pass the bill.
Vote: Passed, 375-37, on April 13, 2000
5. INTERNET TAXES
The House passed a bill adding five years to an existing ban on new taxes aimed solely at Internet users, such as taxes on Internet access. Foes wanted only a two-year extension. A "yes" vote was to extend the ban until October 2006.
Vote: Passed, 352-75, on May 10, 2000
6. TWO MORE YEARS
The House rejected a bid to extend a current moratorium on new Internet taxes for two instead of five years. Backers of the two-year option said it gives states the best chance to develop policies to stem revenue losses to electronic commerce. A "yes" vote favored a shorter extension of the ban.
Vote: Rejected, 208-219, on May 10, 2000
7. TELEPHONE TAX REPEAL
The House passed a bill to repeal by October 2002 the 3 percent federal tax on long-distance telecommunications. It was enacted in 1898 as a luxury tax to help finance the Spanish-American War. A "yes" vote was to repeal the tax.
Vote: Passed, 420-2, on May 25, 2000
8. ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES
The House approved the conference report on a bill establishing legally binding electronic signatures and contracts for use in Internet commerce domestically and globally. A "yes" vote was to pass the bill.
Vote: Passed, 426-4, on June 14, 2000
9. INTERNET GAMBLING
The House failed to reach a two-thirds majority to pass a bill making it a federal crime to place or receive bets over the Internet. The bill was aimed mainly at casino-style sites and sports betting operations. A "yes" vote backed the ban over arguments it would be government control of Internet content.
Vote: Rejected, 245-159, on July 17, 2000
10. UNWANTED E-MAIL
The House passed a bill giving consumers power to block unwanted commercial e-mail. If a consumer asks to be removed from a distribution list, the sender of the "spam" must comply or faces fines. A "yes" vote was to pass the bill.
Vote: Passed, 427-1, on July 18, 2000
