Pine64 does not operate off the US, so it will not be a big problem for them. It may make it harder for you as a user to get a PinePhone though. Since the proposed legislation appears to be about what comes preloaded by default when the device is sold, you are is unlikely to get into trouble for owning or using a PinePhone. But buying one could become more complicated for residents of the states with such legislation.
