From the comments in the article, it seems the Act has not been passed and that the article is incorrect.

Anyone know enough to confirm that the article is in fact incorrect?

It passed the house and I believe it now goes to the Senate and on to Obama to sign.

The most recent House version that came up for vote on Feb 26th is using changes that came as feedback from the setup (basically). Of course the Senate will agree with their own suggestions and Obama's got everthing to gain for supporting a "JOBS Act" :)

Real crowdfunding, here we come!

Here's the full length version of the Act that passed today in the House. It was submitted on Feb. 26th.
