IME Signs AAI Letter of Support for TSCA Legislation

06/11/2013

IME has signed on to a letter from the American Alliance for Innovation (AAI), supporting the "Chemical Safety Improvement Act" recently introduced by (now-late) Sen. Frank Lautenberg and Sen. David Vitter.  The letter applauds the Senators and the bill's cosponsors for coming together in "true bipartisan fashion to introduce compromise legislation to update the Toxic Substances Control Act."  IME shares AAI's belief that the bill "provides a solid scientific foundation for regulatory decisions and provides clear direction for EPA to create a transparent, efficient and sensible process to manage the safety of chemicals in commerce," and is hopeful that the legislation will advance in the Senate.
