Lee Bill Simplifies Labeling of American-Made Products
Sep 27, 2023
Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Angus King (I-ME) introduced the Reinforcing American-Made Products Act, which sets a national standard for interstate commerce products to be labeled "Made-in-USA.” Currently, businesses must navigate conflicting federal and state definitions and regulatory requirements to label products as “Made-in-USA.” The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has an existing national definition that does not supersede state requirements under current laws. Sen. Lee’s bill will simplify and standardize this type of product labeling and allow the countless businesses that already qualify under the federal definition to sell their products as “Made in USA” nationwide.
