Waxman’s Work to Enact the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 After nearly twenty years of legislative stalemate, Congress finally approved sweeping reforms to our pesticide laws in 1996. Many of the most important provisions of "The Food Quality Protection Act" (Public Law 104-170) are the result of a remarkable compromise forged by Rep. Waxman, Commerce Committee Chairman Thomas Bliley, and Rep. John Dingell. That compromise has been called the "most important law you never heard of," and establishes a comprehensive regulatory system for the food we eat. Learn more about Rep.
