More Chemical Security Legislation – 06-17-09

This seems to be the week for chemical security legislation. A quick search of the Thomas.LOC.Gov web site reveals that there were at least two other chemical security related introductions so far this week. Neither bill is available yet on the GPO site so no real details are available. Here is what I do know: HR 2883 Title: To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to provide for security at wastewater treatment works, and for other purposes. Sponsors: Rep Johnson, Eddie Bernice [TX-30], Rep Filner, Bob [CA-51], Rep Napolitano, Grace F., Rep Oberstar, James L. Referred to: House Transportation and Infrastructure (6-16-09) S 1274 Title: A bill to amend title 46, United States Code, to ensure that the prohibition on disclosure of maritime transportation security information is not used inappropriately to shield certain other information from public disclosure, and for other purposes. Sponsors: Sen Rockefeller, John D., IV [WV] Referred to: Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation (6-16-09) Note: If there were any justice this would be called the Bayer CropScience Bill.
