ESRB president Patricia Vance (pictured left) told the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection that "after a game ships, if disclosure [of content in the game] is found to have been incomplete, recent enhancements to the ESRB enforcement system will soon allow for the imposition of fines up to $1 million."

Vance hopes that the newly implemented fines combined with the enormous cost of recalling the re-rated product will "serve as a tremendous disincentive for any publisher to even consider not disclosing all pertinent content." These efforts were created to prevent another Hot Coffee fiasco.

Not all people at the meeting agreed with what Vance had to say. Cliff Stearns, the hearing's chair, challenged the fact that the ESRB is mostly made up of game publishers, a case which Stearns calls a "conflict of interest." Stearns also went on further, complaining that the organization did not completely play through the games before giving them a rating. Vance tried to defend the arguments as best as she could.
