Plain-English Summary

I don't have enough information about this specific bill to write an accurate summary. The title "AWARE Act" and subject area of "Commerce" are too general to determine what the bill actually does or who it affects. To provide a meaningful summary, I would need to know the bill's specific provisions, such as whether it addresses consumer protection, business regulations, trade, or another commerce-related issue.
