Legislation in the 111th HR1523, the Ban Poisonous Additives Act of 2009 (Senate version S. 593) Continued: Legislation from the 110th HR 1523, the Ban Poisonous Additives Act of 2009 (Senate version S. 593) The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation because bisphenol-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 encourage co-sponsorship and eventual passage of this bill. S 753, a bill to prohibit the manufacture, sale, or distribution in commerce of children's food and beverage containers composed of bisphenol A, and for other purposes. The Breast Cancer Fund has been meeting with staff to discuss how it relates to S. 593 and HR 1523. House and Senate appropriations The Breast Cancer Fund has been speaking with House and Senate offices about increasing federal funding for state biomonitoring programs through the CDC. Future Legislative Proposals The Breast Cancer Fund continues to meet with staff from various House and Senate 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. The Breast Cancer Fund has met with Congresswoman Slaughters office to propose revisions to a bill previously introduced in the 110th as 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 supports reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act. Senator Lautenberg is currently revising a version of his legislation from the 110th, S.3040 Kid-Safe Chemicals Act, and The Breast Cancer Fund has joined with other advocates to review draft language. The bill would amend the Toxic Substances Control Act to reduce the exposure of children, workers, and consumers to toxic chemical substances. 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 in the Senate and in conference negotiations which inserts phthalates as a banned substance in the manufacture of childrens toys. We are now monitoring implementation of this law: calling on the Executive Branch to nominate a new Chair for the agency and submitting public comments on various stages of implementation. 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.
