Congress was busy yesterday with a fairly large number of
bills introduced. One in particular will probably be of interest to the
chemical security/safety community:
S 1009 Latest Title: A bill to
reauthorize and modernize the Toxic Substances Control Act, and for other
purposes. Sponsor: Sen
Lautenberg, Frank R. (D,NJ)
This bill has been widely mentioned in the press because of
the wide political range of its co-sponsors and at least initial support by the
chemical industry.
There is one other bill that I just have to mention in
passing because of its obvious internal contradictions. I won’t be mentioning
this bill again.
HR 2113 Latest Title: To
end the practice of including more than one subject in a single bill by
requiring that each bill enacted by Congress be limited to only one subject, and for other purposes [emphasis
added]. Sponsor: Rep
Marino, Tom (R-PA) (introduced 5/22/2013)
You just can’t make stuff up like this.
