You can read the content of the bill at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-4040


excerpt from cafemom



“We are doing everything we can to have it modified to include us, to be fair to us.. but at this point, we are being treated the same as big industry.. and while this will not affect them substantially, it WILL affect us. Hundreds, if not thousands, of crafters across our country will be put out of business. Those crafters are not only an intregal part of not only the local economy but they supply quality handmade goods as an alternative to mass produced and wasteful big box store goods. They will not be able to do what they do anymore if this law does not add an amendment for us. “

This is a costly law, for the small time manufacturer (crafters) and needs our attention.

True, this only affects those making items for children, but this should concern all crafter’s. In this law, we are included with huge manufacturers.
