Seattle, WA — After what appeared to be the end of national food safety legislation last week, the Senate unanimously passed through a Food Safety Bill on Sunday evening, giving great hope and vindication to food safety advocates, like Bill Marler – Managing Partner for the Marler Clark, The Food Safety Law Firm. It is expected that the bill will pass the House and arrive on the President’s desk by the end of this year.
“I want to specifically thank Senators Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell and their staffs for finding a way to get this legislation though the Senate and to the House and then on to the President,” said Marler. “It does show how bi-partisanship can work.”
Marler Clark has been working for a decade to move food safety legislation forward. Bill Marler has traveled to Washington D.C. to advance food safety legislation numerous times, including in 2008 when he testified that it was time to, “put me out of business.”
In efforts to show the human reality of foodborne illness, Marler also has taken victims themselves to the nation’s capitol for Congressional testimony.
