| 00-4147 | Public Meeting, Child Online Protection Act Commission | Notice | In October 1998, Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), Pub. L. No. 105-277, 112 Stat. 2681-736 (1998), to restrict the commercial distribution of material that is harmful to minors on the Internet. The Act established a Commission to examine the extent to which current technological tools effectively help to protect children from inappropriate online content. Under the statute, the Speaker of the House and the Senator Majority Leader selected 16 members of the Commission from the public and private sector. In addition, the statute provided that representatives from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration will also serve on the Commission as "ex officio" members. The original COPA legislative language required the Commission to submit a report to Congress one year from the date of the enactment. Congress extended the report deadline to November 30, 2000 under the Intellectual Property and Communications Omnibus Reform Act of 1999, Pub. L. No. 106-113 Sec. 1000(a)(9), 113 Stat 1501, 1536 (1999). The new legislation mandates that the Commission hold its first meeting no later than March 31, 2000. | 2000-02-22 | 2000 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/02/22/00-4147/public-meeting-child-online-protection-act-commission | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-02-22/pdf/00-4147.pdf | Commerce Department; National Telecommunications and Information Administration | 54,373 | In October 1998, Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), Pub.
