10/20/2011--Introduced.
Freedom to Breathe Act of 2011 - Nullifies the final rule entitled "Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances; Removal of Essential-Use Designation (Epinephrine)." Prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) from reissuing such rule in substantially the same form or issuing a new rule that prohibits the production and distribution of oral pressurized metered-dose inhalers because such inhalers may emit greenhouse gas emissions, unless the reissued or new rule is specifically authorized by a law enacted after this Act's enactment.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
