ACTION ALERT for SB 126!‏

Please contact your state lawmakers to urge their support of the following bill, SB 126 – ACC CHEMICALS OF HIGH CONCERN TO CHILDREN. The bill authorizes DPH to identify chemicals that are harmful to children’s health and submit a report to the Legislature’s Public Health Committee every two years. This bill has been approved by the Public Health Committee and now awaits action in the Senate. The Chemical and Toy Industry Lobbyists are spreading lots of misinformation about our legislation and lawmakers are believing it. It is vital that we let our 36 Senators know that this is an important public health issue and ask them to support it!

Senate Democrats – 860-240-8600 or Toll-free 800-842-1420

Senate Republicans – 860-240-8800 or Toll-free 800-842-1421

In most cases you’ll leave a message with your lawmaker(s) aides. Just give them your name and address and then tell them you are urging them to support SB 126:

“My name is _________________ and my address is ________________________. I want Sen___________________ to know that as a public health professional I am strongly in favor of SB 126 so that Connecticut can begin protecting children from chemicals linked to serious health risks.”

If you have any questions about the bills or their status, please contact Noele Kidney at [email protected].

PLEASE CALL TODAY! WE ARE HOPING THAT IF WE GENERATE ENOUGH PHONE CALLS, THE BILL WILL BE CALLED THIS WEEK.
