Despite Apple’s intense lobbying efforts, the Open App Markets Act has officially passed out of the Senate Judiciary committee today. The advancement of the Open Markets Act out of committee comes after the committee passed the American Choice and Innovation Online Act just two weeks ago.
The Open App Markets Act was passed by the Senate Judiciary committee almost unanimously, with 20 votes in favor of it and one against it. The one senator who voted against the bill was John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas.
