The Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA) applauded reauthorization of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) and thanked the bipartisan group of Congressional leaders who played an integral role in helping to shepherd and unanimously pass the reauthorization, which was recently signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.

“On behalf of the household and commercial products industry, HCPA is very grateful to Congress and the Administration for ensuring that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will continue to receive proper funding for this cost-effective, sustainable and historically efficient program,” said HCPA president and CEO Steve Caldeira.

“As the voice of the household and commercial products industry, HCPA worked collaboratively with policymakers on both sides of the political aisle, in both chambers, as well as with highly-respected NGOs and allied trade associations, to find a pathway to reauthorize this critically important law,” said Caldeira. “HCPA would like to thank Senators Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Tom Udall (D-NM) for their sponsorship of PRIA reauthorization in the US Senate, as well as House Agriculture Committee Chairman, Collin Peterson (D-MN), Ranking Member Mike Conaway (R-TX), and House and Senate leadership for their steadfast support on PRIA reauthorization.”
