Now that Congress has returned from recess, the American Chemical Society (ACS) has identified key areas of unfinished science legislation that if implemented would greatly benefit the US economy, prepare youth for high-paying jobs and ensure America remains globally competitive.
This legislation includes: America COMPETES Act, The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act, The Critical Minerals Policy Act, The Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit and The Higher Education ACT (HEA).
ACS holds formal policy positions on U.S. Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Science and Technology in the FY2015 Budget, the U.S. Business Climate, Science Education Policy and Energy Policy.
The American Chemical Society is a non-profit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 161,000 members, ACS claims to be the world's largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.
