How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would impact American consumers who want assurance that the products they buy are genuinely made in the United States. It would also affect manufacturers and retailers who use 'Made in the U.S.A.' claims on their products. A national standard could provide more clarity, but may also limit flexibility for individual states to set their own labeling requirements.
