Congressional Efforts to Restore Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Continue
May 6, 2024
On April 18, 2024, a bipartisan group of Representatives in the U.S. House, led by Laurel Lee (R-FL), redoubled efforts to restore CFATS by offering an amendment to H.R. 8035 (“Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024”). The amendment would have reauthorized CFATS for two years, but it was not included in the final bill that passed the House of Representatives (and eventually became law). Industry continues to look for ways to restore CFATS using other legislative vehicles.
