Bill to boost chemical safety may burden manufacturers
Congress has introduced the Toxic Chemicals Safety Act of 2010 (H.R. 5820), an update of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. It calls for all chemicals to be reviewed for safety. Dangerous chemicals will be restricted or eliminated and safer chemicals will be developed. The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates says the legislation would "hamper innovation and impose stringent regulatory burdens on batch, specialty and custom chemical manufacturers."

It seems to me that our Representatives in Congress and Senate don't have much to do! They keep legislating stiffer laws that hurt the whole economy and nation rather than insisting the current laws be enforced properly! This holds true for our chemical enforcement laws, our illegal immigration laws, our trade imbalance in importing / exporting laws, not controlling tax dollars properly, and so forth. Yet they insist on legislating new laws that are tougher and tougher on businesses that are already struggling!!! Does this make sense to everyone??
