A communication from the Department of Environmental Protection (see item 2210-0106 of Section 2 of Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2024) submitting a report related to the implementation of the Toxics Use Reduction Act

This bill (HD 4680) requires the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to submit a report to the legislature by February 3, 2025, detailing its progress in meeting deadlines under the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA). The report will cover MassDEP's implementation status for specific TURA requirements, including ongoing efforts like the Environmental Protection Integrated Computer System and annual toxics use reduction data collection. This procedural bill does not create new policy but mandates a status update on an existing law.
