Senator Sees Pesticide Bill as First Step in Years-Long Battle

摘要

The legislative path to strengthen the EPA's pesticide rules will likely follow the same multi-year, bipartisan blueprint that rewrote the nation's toxic chemicals law in 2016, retiring New Mexico Democrat Tom Udall said. "The first thing you need is a strong bill," Udall, the lead author of a Senate measure introduced Tuesday (S. 4406), told reporters on a press call. He said legislation introduced in 2013 to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 took three years to get to President Barack Obama's desk. (P. Law No. 114- 182).
