[Washington, DC] - The Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) is applauding the House of Representatives for passing the Sunshine for Regulations and Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2017 (HR 469). Sponsored by Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), this WDMA-backed legislation codifies reforms to the process used by regulatory agencies known as "sue and settle", which was used in 2010 to remove the opt-out provision of the Lead: Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (RRP). WDMA members advocated for this bill's passage during the 2017 Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, which passed the House 234-187. Learn more.

[Washington, DC] - The Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) is applauding Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt for a directive making needed reforms to the way EPA enters into settlement agreements. Commonly known as "sue and settle," the process allowed the agency and the party that filed the legal challenge to agree in principle on the terms of a consent decree or settlement before the public had the opportunity to review the terms of the agreement. This was process that was used in 2010 that led to the removal of the "opt-out" provision of the Lead: Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (RRP). WDMA strongly opposed its removal.
