Associations Asks Congress to Support House Bill to Amend CPSIA
The National Association of Manufacturers and 18 other trade associations have issued a statement urging Congress to support H.R. 1939, a bill that they believe maintains the important safety provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, but adopts some modest, common sense reforms. They state that among other things, the bill amends the CPSIA to ease regulatory burdens where appropriate, eliminate duplication and needless paperwork, and improve the accuracy of information in the CPSC’s public database. The bill was reported by the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade on May 12, 2011.
