Congress agrees: the law can't be copyrighted

I predict that almost nothing will change.

For example, the ASME has design rules for pressure vessels. Most states (not all) require that pressure vessels be built according to those rules. These same states typically require that the pressure vessels be insured. It would be very easy for them to drop the ASME requirement but maintain the insurance requirement. I can guarantee you that no insurance company is going to want to insure a vessel that doesn’t meet the ASME’s standards.
