SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Children's Environmental Health and
Safety Risk Reduction Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) a growing body of scientific knowledge demonstrates
that children may suffer disproportionately from environmental
health risks and safety risks;
(2) those risks arise because--
(A) the neurological, immunological, digestive, and
other bodily systems of children are still developing;
(B) children eat more food, drink more fluids, and
breathe more air in proportion to their body weight
than adults;
(C) the size and weight of children may diminish
their protection from standard safety features; and
(D) the behavior patterns of children may make
children more susceptible to accidents because children
are less able to protect themselves; and
(3) each Federal agency, to the extent permitted by law and
appropriate, and consistent with the mission of each Federal
agency, should--
(A) place a high priority on the identification and
assessment of environmental health risks and safety
risks that may disproportionately affect children;
(B) ensure that the policies, programs, activities,
and standards of the Federal agency address
disproportionate risks to children that result from
environmental health risks or safety risks; and
(C) participate in the implementation of, and
comply with, this Act.
