The United States of America Family Entertainment Protection Act was first presented on November 29, 2005. Senator Hilary Clinton along with other co-senators Joe Lieberman, Tim Johnson and Evan Bayh proposed this act for a national directive on implementation of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings system. This act is created for video games in order to protect children from foul and inappropriate content.

Nevertheless, the bill has not become a law along with other related bills in other places in United States that include Michigan and Illinois. The Family Entertainment Protection Act was only presented to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. It terminated at the end of the 109th assembly of Congress without any supplementary action.
