The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) released the following statement on the U.S. Senate’s passage of legislation to modernize Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).


“The Senate’s action represents a major milestone in the multi-year effort to bring U.S. chemical safety laws into the 21st century,” said Ernie Rosenberg, ACI President & CEO.


“We believe that this legislation reflects progress in science and technology and advance further innovations. A well designed, updated law can further enable our industry’s ongoing work to develop and innovate more sustainable cleaning products.


“ACI and our member companies will continue to work with members of the House and Senate to support a final bill that will move through both chambers and get signed into law by the President.


“We thank the leaders who have worked tirelessly on this effort, especially Senators Vitter and Udall. Their persistence, patience and perseverance helped bring about the progress we are seeing today.”
