During a Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing, Senator Curtis questioned Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson on protecting consumers from predatory timeshare practices and ensuring regulatory stability for the direct selling industry—which is particularly significant to Utah’s economy.

The Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee today unanimously passed the Alex Gate Safety Act, bipartisan legislation introduced by Senators Curtis and Klobuchar to create and enforce a consumer product safety standard for large and potentially hazardous gates often installed in residential, commercial, and recreational settings.

Today, Senators Curtis, Shaheen, Tillis, Collins, Murkowski, Merkley, Coons, King, Booker, and Rosen issued a statement reaffirming the bipartisan commitment in Congress to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
