I'm not certain.

The committee has looked at virtual elimination. It understands that there are some issues with the release-limit regulations and the LOQs. The bill as it was originally drafted simply adopted the provisions of CEPA as they were. I think this is basically a workaround for PFOS, as we work out what to do with the VE provisions in the act, in response to your report.
