Boxer, Barbara [D-CA] CA D B000711 1 Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act of 2016 This bill amends the Toxic Substances Control Act by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to: (1) identify and assess the importation, sale, and uses of, and exposures to, asbestos; and (2) impose requirements that permanently eliminate the possibility of human or environmental exposure to asbestos.
