Hello Peter,

thank you for your answer. That's quite the fact, I wanted to know. My intention was just to gain an overview, what's going on in the U.S. with legislation, and I totally agree with you, that this topic should be covered from one single, national law.

Betreff: Re: [LF] New Jersey, ban of lead in "S1861"?

I am in New Jersey, maybe I can help a bit here.

S1861 (and companion bill A3057) have both been drafted and referred to committee. Neither have yet been added to their respective committee schedules. From there, they still require 2 more readings, debate, and amendments before being considered for vote. So it looks like it could still be a while. The vice-chair of the Senate committee is the Senator from my district. I can contact him if anyone has more questions. Since his office is about a mile from mine, he might be interested in how this affects a local firm.

Two other notes on this:
Both bills also inclue WEEE provisions.

Both bills include this line: This bill is based on substantially similar legislation currently pending in the Rhode Island Legislature.

I know the federal government is trying to avoid this issue, but I wish they would step up and put these under a single, national law. Not likely, with the current debates on "states rights".
