This article discusses the Year 2000 Readiness and Responsibility Act of 1999, known as the Y2K Act. The primary purpose of this act was to establish special rules for commercial litigation related to Y2K computer failures. Noncompliance resulting from a Y2K incident may last only 15 days unless an extension is granted. To meet the government's need for information on the Y2K date rollover, an information coordination center will serve as the federal government's central point for coordinating a wide range of information on system operations and events related to the Y2K transition.
