Franklin proposes EPA advisory reforms emphasizing transparency, conflict disclosures, dissenting views, and scientific integrity safeguards.
Quiver AI Summary
Bill introduced: Rep. Scott Franklin said he introduced the “Establishing Gold Standard Science Act” to increase “transparency,” “accountability,” and “scientific integrity” in the EPA’s scientific advisory process. The measure would apply to the agency’s Science Advisory Board.
What the bill would do: The proposal would expand conflict-of-interest and disclosure rules, require consideration of the “full weight of scientific evidence,” and include different or dissenting views in advisory work. It also would bar federally registered lobbyists from serving on the board and create a process for misconduct reviews and scientific-integrity training.
Support and context: The release says the bill would codify parts of a May 2025 executive order on “Gold Standard Science” and lists several Republican cosponsors, along with support from the American Chemistry Council and the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
