Update on "Made in USA" Bill

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, last week, favorably reported S.118, a bill to make exclusive the authority of the Federal Government to regulate the labeling of products made in the United States. The measure, if enacted, would address the the current situation where the State of California has its own standard for "Made in USA" claims which is, in some cases, stricter than the already strict federal "Made in USA" standard enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.
