Massachusetts S485 amends the Toxic Use Reduction Act to adjust reporting and certification schedules for toxic substance users.

Massachusetts S485 proposes reforms to the Toxic Use Reduction Act, modifying the schedule for large quantity toxics users to prepare and complete toxics use reduction plans. The bill adjusts the frequency of these plans to be prepared every six years or when a new toxic substance is first used at a facility, on an even-numbered year. It also changes the certification period for toxics users from a fixed two-year period to a renewable six-year period.
