before bush it was almost treated as any other research funding request, while there were funding restrictions they had some significant exceptions that allowed researchers to do work with human stem cells. After Bush's presidential order only 19 lines of approved stem cells could be used. All federal funding was withdrawn from any institution that did any research using stem cells from a non-approved line. In other words the Bush administration's new regulations basically said that if you do any research without using these difficult to obtain stem cell lines you cannot accept any federal funds.
