U.S. House Passes Bill to Reduce Regulatory Burdens
Thu, 01/15/2015 - 15:22
By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a SEMA-supported bill to reduce the cost of burdensome regulations on business owners and job creators. The “Regulatory Accountability Act of 2015” would require federal agencies to conduct a cost-benefit analysis when issuing major new rules. Although a few laws already permit such analysis, the legislation would overturn prohibitions contained in other laws such as the Clean Air Act, Motor Vehicle Safety Act and Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Agencies would be required to adopt the least costly approach to achieve policy goals unless it could be demonstrated that a more expensive response was required to address public health, safety or welfare concerns. The bill has been sent to the U.S. Senate for consideration.

 Turn 14 Distribution Center
Turn 14 Distribution’s new Reno, Nevada, distribution center will be the company’s second 52,000-sq.-ft. location.
  

Turn 14 Distribution has opened a new distribution center in Reno, Nevada. Plans to develop operations in Reno were initiated by customer and supplier demand for increased distribution and market penetration in the Western United States. The new Reno distribution center will be the company’s second 52,000-sq.-ft. location.

With the addition of the Reno distribution center, Turn 14 Distribution will now be able to service 33% of the United States with next-day Ground shipping, including Southern and Northern California, 83% of the United States in two days or less and 100% of the Continental United States in three days or less.

The new Reno distribution center will be used to warehouse inventory only, while the Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, location will continue to serve as the company’s headquarters and only call center.
