Mr. Speaker, Reese's Law will require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish safety standards to protect children from ingesting button cell batteries. It also includes an education component for consumers to ensure they are keeping new and used batteries out of the reach of children.

I thank Representatives Arrington and Kelly for spearheading this effort, and to Trista Hamsmith for her tireless efforts.

We are all inspired by Trista, who has been willing to share her daughter's tragic story and channel it into an action that will help save lives.

I also thank Trista for her unending work to make sure this legislation gets across the finish line.

So, Mr. Speaker, I ask the passage of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
