With regard to your request for proposed changes to your statute on February 26, 1997.

1 ) Revise 16 CFR 436 to require sellers of work at home programs, like medical billing, to provide a disclosure prior to any acceptance of money.

2) Lower the threshold from $500 to $300.

3) Require "Internet Sellers" to comply with state and federal business opportunity laws
