A bipartisan push to delay menu label rules
A bipartisan effort to delay the stringent ObamaCare menu labeling rules may require legislation if the Obama administration won’t work with Congress, according to the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health panel.
{mosads}”If we can get a delay, give everybody a bit more time to look at this and settle down, we’ll try to do that. But if we can’t get that with the administration, we’ll move with the legislation,” Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) told The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper following a recent hearing on the Common Sense Nutrition Disclosure Act of 2015.
House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (Wash.) and Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez (Calif.) co-sponsored the measure considered by Pitts’s subcommittee.
