Just what America needs - a more powerful and aggressive EPA.

[sagar]

How about market and the consumers decide what is “toxic” and what is not.

[McGruff]

He’s dead Jim.

[SoFloFreeper]

Oh great. More power in the hands of a federal bureaucracy.

And they wonder why Trump won the Republican contest.

SICK OF INSIDERS. SICK OF THE NANNY STATE!

[Buckeye McFrog]

You read right, America.

In the midst of Obama’s EPA rampaging through every facet of your lives, the Republicans just voted to give it MORE POWER.

[Fresh Wind]

I’m more worried about toxic politicians.

[Paladin2]

Just which chemicals are these?

[stephenjohnbanker]

I would fire the lot of them! Every state already has their own EPA laws. The feds are just THUGS.

[Yo-Yo]

Sounds like it is modeling the California law.

Ever read the fine print on something and see words to the effect “This product contains ingredients known to the State of California to cause cancer”?

[Robert DeLong]

Another reason to vote for Trump, as he said he would close their doors for good.

[j. earl carter]

I'm guessing they are Californizing the entire country.

For many years, it has been standard procedure in my family to select chemical/cleaning products by looking for the "not for sale in California" label. Things that aren't for sale in California usually work better.

[bubbacluck]

If he signed a bill then it had to come from congress. There is shared blame here.

[GregoTX]

Unlike the old version, the new law allows the EPA to stop a potentially dangerous chemical from going to market.

Like lead and gunpowder?

[fishtank]

Here’s the list:

Tobacco = BAD

Marijuana = GOOD

/sarc

[CivilWarBrewing]

..because 0dunga's overlords demand it.

SAVE OUR PLANET EARTH!

[McGruff]

“The updated law gives EPA the authorities we need to protect American families from the health effects of dangerous chemicals,”

How about protecting us from dangerous terrorists you morons! And quit spending my money.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

The Caliph’s Viziers will mow decide what is Halal/Haram.

[thoughtomator]

Maybe now they’ll finally do something about all the dihydrogen monoxide!

[Olog-hai]

Congress passed the legislation after decades of criticism from environmental groups that called on lawmakers to fix what they called “one of the worst environmental laws on the books.” Federal oversight over chemicals was so weak that a court ruled the EPA lacked the power to fully regulate use of asbestos. …

The Constitution never authorizes the executive branch to regulate a single thing. And no branch of the federal government has the constitutional right to regulate anything intrastate, either.

[Java4Jay]

Ammo unhealthy, must regulate

[bigbob]

At least it wasn’t by Executive Order. We know who voted for this.
