PPAI Webinar To Address Federal Legislation
According to PPAI personnel, the United States Senate is currently debating a bill that will provide federal guidelines and stop enforcement for some limited products and provide federal guidelines for Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, approved by California voters in 1986. The initial purpose of Proposition 65 was to protect California citizens and the state’s drinking water sources from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and to inform citizens about exposures to such chemicals. However, the “significant risk level” as determined by the state of California is often so low that the effects of Proposition 65 are significantly more far-reaching than most Californians likely imagined at the time of passage.
