Educating legislators is key to avoiding unnecessary regulations
“Since 2010, in the House we have had 40% turnover,” which means most of the current representatives “were not around when DSHEA passed and weren’t around when most of the laws that govern the natural products industry” were passed, said NPA’s CEO Daniel Fabricant. He added that visiting these legislators on the hill March 24 for the 18th Annual Natural Products Day "is a great opportunity for us ... to educate them on the industry. And not just how the industry is regulated, but also on what the industry does for health and well-being and the role you play in your communities. It is incredibly important."
