(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) released the below statement today following the U.S. House of Representatives passing H.R. 2269, the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety (WIPPES) Act:
“CHPA commends House lawmakers for advancing this common-sense solution to an issue that has been debated by several U.S. states for some time now," said David Spangler, CHPA’s Senior Vice President, Legal, Government Affairs & Policy. "Addressing it at the federal level helps avoid a patchwork of conflicting state laws that could create consumer confusion. This legislation will go a long way in supporting wastewater infrastructure, human health, and the natural environment. CHPA thanks the House for its leadership on this issue and urges the Senate to build on this momentum and send it to the President’s desk for signature.”
