TSCA Reform Bill Passes US Senate by Voice Vote
Dec 23, 2015
On December 18th, a bipartisan group of senators celebrated victory after years of negotiations over a major chemical safety bill that passed the Senate Thursday night. Sens. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and David Vitter (R-La.) led the effort to gain passage on the Senate floor for the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, named after the late New Jersey Democratic senator who led the effort before his 2013 death that makes major changes to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976.  The House of Representatives passed similar legislation on June 23, 2015.  As the two bills differ, a Conference Committee will meet to deliberate and provide final language.  It is hoped that negotiations will start during the Christmas break with a final product final product ready for votes in both chambers early next year.

2024 Advocacy Wrap-Up

PRINTING United Alliance's Government Affairs team had a productive year, advocating on several fronts to protect and advance the interests of the printing industry in the U.S. The printing industry’s role as a major economic driver was emphasized in advocacy campaigns. Contributing over $100 billion annually and employing 380,000 workers, the industry’s ties to the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector further underscore its importance, with the latter adding $2.5 trillion to GDP and over 22 million jobs. Advocacy has emphasized these contributions to secure supportive policies from Congress and the administration.
