This bill requires online marketplaces (e.g., Amazon) to collect and verify certain contact and financial information from third-party sellers whose transactions and related revenues exceed specified thresholds.

The bill provides the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general with the authority to enforce these requirements.
