The house threw out S 510 but put put the wording into another bill which went back to the senate as S 3082. The bill they stuck it in was supposed to be a 'continuing resolution' bill having to do with government expenditures in 2011.
As recently as last Thursday December 16th, it looked like this was going to be passed into law.
As of Friday morning, this bill had been killed and a much simpler continuing resolution bill had been passed which has nothing to do with food safety! This is a victory. It is result of much pressure from citizens who spoke up.
As we must tell our senators and representatives how they are supposed to represent us – call your senator and your representative to tell them to vote NO on any future food safety bill of any sort.
