Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement today after the House passed H.R. 1030, the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015, by a vote of 241-175 and H.R 1029, The EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act of 2015, by a vote of 236-181:
"For years the EPA has made unilateral regulatory decisions behind closed doors that have lasting and crippling effects on business owners and farmers throughout Arkansas and America. By increasing transparency and review of the science behind the EPA's regulations, we can ensure a higher quality of scientific evidence and eliminate the politically driven, overly burdensome regulations of the EPA."
