Continued: Legislation from the 110th HR 6228, the Ban Poisonous Additives Act (no Senate version) The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation because bisphenal-A has been linked to increased rates of cancer, as well as other significant health problems.

The Breast Cancer Fund has been meeting with staff of the principal author Congresswoman Slaughter to re-draft the bill in anticipation of the introduction of a version of the bill in the 111th Congress. Future Legislative Proposals The Breast Cancer Fund has met with staff from the Senate HELP Committee to discuss future legislation for a second War on Cancer.
