Pursuing Bipartisan Talks, Republicans Hold Fire On TSCA Reform Bills

摘要

Republicans are holding fire and reserving comment on just-introduced bills to overhaul the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and are working with Democrats on bipartisan talks over reforming federal toxics law, with one industry source saying the GOP has nothing to gain by attacking the bills at a "premature date."rnIndustry has raised early concerns about TSCA reform legislation introduced this month by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and a House discussion draft bill floated by Reps. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Bobby Rush (D-IL), warning the bill's safety standards could be impossible to meet and could stymie innovation.
