Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®), the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), and the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health are pleased to present “TSCA Reform — Nine Years Later” on June 25, 2025. This complimentary virtual conference marks the ninth Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Annual Conference. As with our previous TSCA events, a stellar faculty of speakers from government, non-governmental organizations, industry, and academia will convene to inform, analyze, discuss, and debate the most pressing issues related to TSCA with regulatory practitioners and other stakeholder attendees. With a new Trump Administration and the relentless pace of regulatory developments related to implementation of the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg), there are many issues to consider and problems to solve.
Agenda (subject to change):
All times Eastern.

Setting the Stage — An Overview of Today’s Program
Nine years after enactment of Lautenberg, who would have guessed its implementation and the state of chemical safety remain the subject of considerable uncertainty and legal debate.
