I don't really understand this new bill about gas cylinders, but it sounds like it could cause some problems. How will this affect me in the short term?

I don't really understand this new bill about gas cylinders. It seems like it could have some impact on safety, but I'm not sure how it will affect me. Who benefits from this bill anyway?
