Occurrences
To establish a task force to address the impacts of the chemical 6PPD and its by-product 6PPD-Q on coho salmon and the environment and to promote research and funding opportunities for an alternative to the chemical 6PPD, and for other purposes.
Strickland introduced her 6PPD Task Force Act. The bill creates a Task Force to bridge together federal, state, tribal, and industry voices to coordinate further 6PPD-quinone (6PPD) research and identify a safe alternative.
Evidence
Official House statement says Strickland introduced the 6PPD Task Force Act, which would create a task force to coordinate 6PPD research and identify a safe alternative.
The bill text would direct the Secretary of Transportation, with EPA consultation, to establish a 6PPD Task Force to improve data sharing, identify impacts, and develop alternatives.
Assessments
Strickland made a serious legislative attempt by introducing the 6PPD Task Force Act in April 2026, and the bill closely matched the promise by proposing a federal task force to coordinate research and identify safer alternatives. But the evidence only shows bill introduction and referral, not enactment or the actual creation of a federal task force. Under the federal promise rubric, a substantial but unsuccessful attempt counts as not delivered, with effort credit.
