A bill that called on Congress to demand a study of the effects of violent video games on children died when the 112th session of Congress disbanded on January 2nd.
The bill was introduced by Senator Jay Rockafeller of West Virginia on December 17th - three days after the Sandy Hook school shootings.

According to US law, a bill must be voted on by the same session of Congress to which it was introduced.
A staffer at the Senator's office told Polygon that Rockafeller plans to reintroduce the bill, possibly within the month.
If passed, the measure would call for a study by the National Academy of Sciences on the effects of violent video games and video programming on children.
