Act for a Healthy Tomorrow
This week, Massachusetts PTA can help win two policies that will protect our children and communities from toxic chemicals -- the Safer Alternatives Bill and regulations banning lead in children's products. The Safer Alternatives Bill now has a new number it is:
S-2406
Safer Alternatives Bill
The Safer Alternatives Bill designates "Priority Toxic Chemicals" which are used in Massachusetts and are linked to chronic illnesses, birth defects, and learning and behavioral disabilities. It mandates a careful process to evaluate and then require safer alternatives to these chemicals where feasible, providing assistance to businesses in the transition.
Last week, the legislature's Environment Committee advanced the bill to the Senate Ways and Means Committee. We can pass the bill in the Senate this fall, but only if our senators hear from us now!

Please forward this alert widely.
