The United States Truth in Video Game Rating Act (S.3935) was a failed bill that was introduced by then Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) on September 26, 2006.

The act would require the ESRB to have access to the full content of and hands-on time with the games it was to rate, rather than simply relying on the video demonstrations submitted by developers and publishers.

"[1] The bill was one of several proposed federal and state legislation that were introduced following the media attention from the "Hot Coffee" scenes in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in mid-2005, and the ESRB re-rating of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in 2006.

[3] Oblivion had been rated as Teen but was changed to Mature after a mod revealed that the game included art assets with violent depictions and nudity.

[4] Prior to Brownback's bill, Senators Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, and Evan Bayh had introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act in December 2005, which called for a federal mandate enforcement of the ESRB ratings system in order to protect children from inappropriate content, though the legislation failed to pass.
