Major Minor Legislation

Next-Generation Online is reporting that Pennsylvania Senator Jack Wagner (D) in addition to the legislation proposed earlier today making it illegal to sell "violent video games" to people under 18 in his home state (see story), also introduced to Congress a resolution to require submission of games to the ESRB for review and rating. According to the article, "such a requirement exists in no other entertainment industry." According to Wagner he's not advocating censorship:

"What I am proposing is not censorship," Wagner said. "Individuals and companies would still be free to create, sell and rent violent video games. They could not, however, offer such games to minors. I believe the restrictions I am proposing are reasonable, justifiable and in the best interests of Pennsylvania's children and children across America."
