"House, Senate Leaders ‘Finalizing’ Chemical Bill Compromise"

"Leading lawmakers in the House and Senate said Tuesday evening they are in the final stages of hammering out a compromise bill to reform federal chemical safety standards.

After months of negotiation, representatives of House Republicans, Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats said a final deal is near to reconcile the different measures the chambers passed last year to reform the nearly 40-year-old Toxic Substances Control Act.

“House and Senate negotiators are finalizing a TSCA reform bill that represents an improvement over both the House and Senate bills in key respects,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement."
