7 The MAHA Commission should amend the federal PWFA and PUMP Acts to require employee access to an employer’s CMR-MP. Employee access to a CMR-MP is critical to allow an employee to make an informed decision whether any reasonable accommodations are needed to ensure health of the pregnancy or prevent CMR contamination of breast milk.
8 An employer’s CMR-MP should be certified as “true and accurate” by an industrial hygienist or other qualified healthcare provider as identified in the PWFA final rules.
9 The MAHA Commission should authorize the EEOC to establish a “Bounty Hunter” provision, such as found within California Proposition 65, to identify those employers that have not developed and communicated a CMR-MP to their workforce. The Bounty Hunter is needed because an OSHA SEP is likely to be insufficient to accomplish CMR-MP objectives.
10 The EPA, under its TSCA authority, should accelerate the identification of existing and new CMR’s, along with the chemical’s respective ECEL and NCEL, by using AI to supplement traditional toxicological methods.
