(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Enhance Labeling, Accessing, and Branding of Electronic Licenses Act of 2014 or the E-LABEL Act - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to promulgate regulations or take other appropriate action to allow manufacturers of radiofrequency devices with display the option to use electronic labeling for the equipment in place of affixing physical labels to the equipment.

Defines "radiofrequency device with display" as any equipment or device that: (1) requires the FCC's authorization before the equipment or device may be marketed or sold within the United States, and (2) is capable of digitally displaying required labeling and regulatory information.

Written by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, describing H.R. 5161 as passed House without amendment on Sep 11, 2014. It is not the text of the measure; a later amendment may have changed what it does.
