LEGISLATION IN THE 114TH CONGRESS​ S.1014, Personal Care Products Safety Act The Breast Cancer Fund continues to meet with staff from Senator Feinsteins office and other HELP committee offices to encourage legislative action on the issue of safety of Personal Care Products. The Breast Cancer Fund supports action that would remove toxins and regulate Personal Care Products and Cosmetics.

S. 697, Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act The Breast Cancer Fund opposes this legislation without amendments, as it would do little to strengthen the current TSCA law, but continues to work with members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works to improve and strengthen the bill. S. 725, Alan Reinstein and Trevor Schaefer Toxic Chemical Protection Act The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation because it would mandate the testing of chemicals for their health risks, including potentially hazardous, cancer-causing chemicals currently being used in a variety of consumer products. S. 821, BPA in Food Packaging Right to Know Act The Breast Cancer Fund continues to meet with staff from Senate offices to encourage legislative action on the issue of bisphenol-A, which has been linked to increased rates of cancer, as well as other significant health problems.

The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation to reform the FDAs regulation of cosmetic and personal care product ingredients based on mounting evidence that several ingredients of common cosmetic products have been linked to negative environmental health impacts, including breast cancer.

Such labeling is a critical step in removing carcinogenic, and otherwise hazardous, materials from consumer products.

Legislation in the 113th Please see additional page for lobbying issues:S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act of 2013 The Breast Cancer Fund opposes this legislation in its current form as it would do little to strengthen the current TSCA law, but continues to work with members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works to improve and strengthen the bill. S. 696, the Safe Chemicals Act of 2013 The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation because it would mandate the testing of chemicals for their health risks, including potentially hazardous, cancer-causing chemicals currently being used in a variety of consumer products. H.R. 1385, the Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Act of 2013 The Breast Cancer Fund supports this legislation to reform the FDAs regulation of cosmetic and personal care product ingredients based on mounting evidence that several ingredients of common cosmetic products have been linked to negative environmental health impacts, including breast cancer. House and Senate Appropriations The Breast Cancer Fund contacted House and Senate offices about increasing federal funding for the CDCs environmental health grants programs and for NIEHS programs related to breast cancer research. H.R.4435, National Defense Authorization Act for FY2015 (NDAA) The Breast Cancer Fund supports an amendment to NDAA that directs the Secretary of Defense, in carrying out research, development, test, and evaluation activities with respect to breast cancer, to implement the recommendations of the Interagency Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Coordinating Committee to prioritize prevention and increase the study of chemical and physical factors in breast cancer (IBCERCC).

Future Legislative Proposals: The Breast Cancer Fund continues to meet with staff from Senate offices to encourage legislative action on the issue of bisphenol-A which has been linked to increased rates of cancer, as well as other significant health problems. The Breast Cancer Fund support action that would ban bisphenol-A from the linings of canned food, foods marketed to children, and food storage containers. The Breast Cancer Fund supports ongoing efforts to reintroduce legislation that would compel manufacturers to provide complete and accurate product labeling of chemicals used in consumer products. Such labeling is a critical step in removing carcinogenic, and otherwise hazardous, materials from consumer products. The Breast Cancer Fund supports ongoing efforts to reintroduce legislation in the House that would mandate the testing of chemicals for their health risks- including potentially hazardous, cancer-causing chemicals currently being used in a variety of consumer products. The Breast Cancer Fund continues to talk with staff from Senate offices about the introduction of legislation in the Senate to reform the FDAs regulation of cosmetics and personal care product ingredients to prevent the use of chemicals found to have negative health and environmental impacts.Regulation and Legislative Intent: FDA Advocacy In addition to meeting with Congressional staff on the matter of bisphenol-A (BPA), the Breast Cancer Fund has also met with members of the FDA management team concerning the FDAs ongoing cosmetics regulation negotiations and the FDAs transparency policies more generally. P.L. 110-314 The Consumer Product Safety Commission Improvement Act The Breast Cancer Fund lobbied in support of the provision that bans the use of phthalates in the manufacture of childrens toys. We are now monitoring implementation of this law; working on preserving the law's phthalates provision through the legislative and regulatory process; and urging expeditious research and regulatory action as required by the legislation.
