[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251351, member: 1233"] CPSIA is a federal reg, so the states cannot vote things that go against it. It was a big deal here with our church (runs the best thrift store in town) and with the homeschool and freecycle groups. Right now, Federal law still says that the yard sales, thrift stores, etc.. can skip testing but cannot sell items that do not meet the allowable levels. Not sure how you would know. I think, with the other measures up in the Senate, enforcement is not going to happen until they know what the new measures will be. But I think private sales are pretty much unregulateable. I know some areas charge sales tax on yard sales, or you have to buy a permit to have one, but many people don't follow those regs. [/QUOTE]
