The checks and balances that CEPA establishes are more before a regulation is developed. Those have to do with the process to identify a substance as “toxic”. When passed, that establishes a threshold that allows the government to develop various instruments, including regulations. Once the government decides to develop a regulation, it follows the same process, with the same transparency hurdles, under CEPA, as is imposed on the development of any other regulation.
