Legislation from the 110th HR 6228, the Ban Poisonous Additives Act (no Senate version). This bill would ban the chemical bisphenal-A from all food and beverage containers. 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 from various offices to explore revisions to H.R. 6228 in anticipation of the introduction of similar legislation in the 111th Congress. HR 5809, the Environmental Hormone Disruption Act (no Senate version) This bill would authorize the director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to establish a comprehensive program to better understand the impact of hormone disrupting pollutants in the environment on the health of women and children. The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation because of the need for more research on the links between environmental hazards and health. 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. The Breast Cancer Fund has provided counsel on sections of the bill pertaining to cancer and the environment. The Breast Cancer Fund has also met with staff from various House offices to draft legislation to reform the FDAs regulation of cosmetic ingredients based on mounting evidence that several ingredients of common cosmetic products have been linked to negative environmental health impacts, including breast cancer. Regulation and Legislative Intent P.L. 110-314 The Consumer Product Safety Commission Improvement Act This law has broadly reformed and modernized the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Breast Cancer Fund lobbied in support of a Feinstein amendment, which inserts phthalates as a banned substance in the manufacture of childrens toys. We are now working with legislative conferees and their staff to insure effective regulatory implementation of the bill by the Consumer Product Safety Commission including submission of public comment and investigation of specific determinations by the CPSCs legislation counsel regarding specific sections of the law. P.L. 110-354 -- Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act of 2008 This law authorizes the Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to make grants for the development and operation of research centers regarding environmental factors that may be related to the etiology of breast cancer. The Breast Cancer Fund was not actively involved in passage of the bill apart from coalition support but has since met with authors to discuss implementation and the appointment process to the community panel that will oversee the grant process.

H.R. 3643/S. 2082 - The Coordinated Environmental Public Health Network Act of 2007 This bill would create a coordinated national health tracking program to examine the links between Americans' health and their exposure to environmental contaminants. The Breast Cancer Fund is interested because this would help identify the environmental causes of breast cancer. S. 2275 and H.R. 4030 The Children's Chemical Risk Reduction Act These bills would prohibit the manufacture, sale, or distribution in commerce of certain children's products and child care articles that contain phthalates. Phthalates are known to be linked with breast cancer development, so the Breast Cancer Fund is interested in eliminating them from consumer products. S. 2045 and H.R. 4040 The Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act These bills would broadly reform and modernize the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Breast Cancer fund has lobbied in support of a Feinstein amendment, which inserts phthalates as a banned substance in the manufacture of childrens toys. House Labor, HHS Appropriations bill for Biomonitoring and Health Tracking for Fiscal year 2009. HR 6228, the Ban Poisonous Additives Act (no Senate version) This bill would ban the chemical bisphenol-A from all food and beverage containers. 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. HR 5809, the Environmental Hormone Disruption Act (no Senate version) This bill would authorize the director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to establish a comprehensive program to better understand the impact of hormone disrupting pollutants in the environment on the health of women and children. The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation because of the need for more research on the links between environmental hazards and health.
