Save Our Sensible Safeguards

In the latest attempt to deregulate our State, Senator Jeff Van Drew (D-1) and Steven Oroho (R-24) have introduced bill S1986. This bill would rollback New Jersey's standards for health, safety, and environmental protection. And it could cost jobs as well.

S1986 is the companion bill to A2486 introduced by Assemblyman John Burzichelli. (See below.)

This bill threatens New Jersey's existing safeguards and the future of our state government as a force for public good.

TAKE ACTION

1. Call Senator Van Drew at (609) 465-0700 and urge him to withdraw his sponsorship of S1986. This is the wrong time to relax environmental, health and safety standards. Please tell us you called here.
