BPA Ban Goes Down... and other updates
A few hours after today's BPA Ban show, the Oregon senate voted down the measure to restrict the sale of baby bottles and sippy cups with bisphenol-A.
In case you were curious about how other legislative measures that we've talked about have fared in this special session:
- The house voted to overturn the ban on religious clothing worn by teachers. The bill now goes to the senate. (Listen to our show about it here.)
- The senate voted to limit employers' abilities to conduct credit checks when vetting potential employees. Now the house will take it on. (Listen to our show here.)
- And as we mentioned last week, Sen. Mark Hass (D-Hillsboro) dropped his bill banning plastic bags at Oregon checkout counters. But it might come back in 2011.
