Senate OKs "Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act"

Legislation that makes it illegal for Web merchants and so-called post-transaction marketers to charge credit cards without the card owners' say-so came closer to becoming law as the "Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act" passed in the U.S. Senate. The law will make it illegal to use "misleading post-transaction advertisements" and require marketers to clearly disclose the terms of their offers.
