Nadler, Correa Introduce Corner Post Reversal Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Lou Correa (D-Calif.) today introduced the Corner Post Reversal Act, which would reverse a Supreme Court decision that effectively eliminated the statute of limitations for challenging a wide range of federal regulations. Lisa Gilbert, executive vice president of Public Citizen, released the following statement:
“The Supreme Court’s Corner Post decision makes Americans less safe by increasing litigation over regulatory safeguards and making it harder for federal agencies to protect the public.
“The Corner Post Reversal Act would prevent the disruptive impact of the Supreme Court’s decision by reinstating a time limit for legal challenges to regulatory protections. If Congress does not act, longstanding regulations that have protected consumers, workers, our environment, and public health and safety for years, even decades, could be newly challenged by corporations that want to boost their profits at the public’s expense.”
