"Doesn't the Udall-Vitter bill grandfather in permanently all State chemical specific regulations that were in place January 1st, 2015?"
"I think we need to have the preemption discussion in that context."
"Doesn't it keep in place any State regulation that exists prior to the EPA taking up a chemical until the EPA makes a conclusion in its study?"
"So for that particular path, the rules are different and more allowing of the State regulations to continue?"
"Senator Tom Udall stepped in to help preserve Frank's legacy."
"I believe we have the opportunity to actually reform a law and improve lives and save lives."
"I appreciate your work on that. We will continue to work and resolve that."
"EPA needs clear authority to take risk management actions when chemicals do not meet the safety standards."
"And the Vitter-Udall bill gives EPA more resources through user fees, correct?"
"So obviously, if you zoom past 25, if you get to 40, if you go past 40, there is no ceiling, there is nothing in the law preventing you from doing that?"
"So if a State has already acted, even if EPA takes on a chemical, even if EPA says, you can drink this and you will have a great life, that State regulation is still in effect?"
