S.510
Title: FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
Sponsor: Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] (introduced 3/3/2009)
The Senate voted yesterday for a cloture motion to send the bill forward for a vote. Senator Tom Coburn of OK had tried to block the bill saying that it was an unfunded mandate and added to the deficit. The cloture motion is a senate maneuver to stop of filibuster attempt. It requires a vote of at least 60 Senators to pass to law. The vote is expected to take place after the mid-term elections. Senate bill 510 is the counterpart to a bill that passed the House last year. It will establish scientific risk based procedures in most food producing and delivery operations, will increase the FDA's ability to control adulterated foods, will increase product traceability requirements and establish a strong importing inspection program. The entire bill can be read at S.510
