TURA Science Advisory Board
Bringing Science and Policy Together
The Toxics Use Reduction Act of 1989 created a Science Advisory Board (SAB) to work with the Institute as described in Chapter 211, Section 6, line 496.
The Board's primary role is to consider petitions to add or delete chemicals from the TURA chemical list and make recommendations to the Institute accordingly.
The Institute may call on the SAB for scientific or technical advice concerning other TURA-related issues.
