Governor and Legislators Revisit Prop. 65 |
June 5, 2013
Previously published on May 30, 2013
Governor Brown announced reforms he is seeking to strengthen and restore the intent of the California Safe Drinking Water & Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly known as “Prop. 65.” Prop. 65 imposes both a discharge prohibition and a warning requirement for certain identified chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Since its approval by voters in 1986, Prop. 65 has been used with mixed results. The Governor has zeroed in on ending what his office has described as “shake-down” lawsuits pursued against private enterprise.
