Healthy Legacy is supporting the following policies for the 2008 session.
- Healthy Children's Products (HF 2100/SF 1858) We propose a phase-out of phthalates and bisphenol A from children's products, given that children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of these chemicals and safer alternatives are available.
