The Director is tasked with identifying and assessing environmental and safety risks that disproportionately affect infants, children, and adolescents. Additionally, the bill establishes a permanent Children's Health Protection Advisory Committee to provide guidance to the EPA. The legislation includes specific funding authorizations to support these offices and committees.
