I heard a blurb on the news that the "Holt Bill" AKA H.R.45 has been "folded into" the so-called "stimulus package." Anybody have any info on this, and what it means?

All kinds of fun buried in that "package" I bet.[}:)]

That would explain why it was being pushed through at light speed...how many Congressmen and Senators actually READ this before voting on it???
Well, "F" it. If it is true that HR 45 is now law, I am now an outlaw.
And damned proud to be one.

I am going through H.R.1 right now and don't see any mention of firearms. Don't believe everything you hear on the news. [:)]
There was no mention of any firearms.
There are several real bad parts especially the health care registration provisions. Take a look at this page.
"The National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure the doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective so as to reduce costs and "help guide" the doctor's decisions (p.442, 446). Hospitals and doctors that are not "meaningful users" of the new system will face penalties by the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose "more stringent measures of meaningful use over time" (p.511, 518, 540-541). The Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research ($1.1 billion)[27] (p.190-192) will slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are expensive. Medicare would apply a cost-effective standard set by the Federal Council for the elderly (p.464).[28] Drugs "that are found to be less effective and in some cases, more expensive, will no longer be prescribed." It approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis.[29]"
These new rules were not brought up in any reports I found.
There was not a single person that read the revised version before they voted yesterday.
Pathetic.
Here is a link to a summary of the bill - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Recovery_and_Reinvestment_Act_of_2009
Doesn't seem to be in here. Also, I understand that HR 45 is is languishing in committee with still no co-sponsors. Seems it will dies a lonely death same as it did last year.
The crap is just about to hit the fan.
Dig your heels in now.

Could you please point out where exactly in H.R.1 is H.R.45 so wonderfully hidden?
There is another posability... that the version posted online isn't the version that was voted on and is due to be signed tomorrow.

Yup, if they "inserted" something at the "last minute" then it will not be in previous copies. Until that copy surfaces, it nothing but a rumor.
