The Premium Cigar Association would like to thank Senator Rick Scott (FL) for the introduction of the Unnecessary Agency Regulations Reduction Act. PCA believes legislation like this bill is important in curbing burdensome regulations that harm small businesses.
In a letter sent to Senator Scott, PCA acknowledges that the Premarket Review and Substantial Equivalence Rule promulgated by the Food & Drug Administration is a perfect example of an overly burdensome regulation. In addition to supporting the Unnecessary Agency Regulations Reduction Act, PCA asks Senator Scott and colleagues to provide regulatory relief for the premium cigar industry and the thousands of employees and hundreds of small businesses in Florida before the Premarket Review and Substantial Equivalence Rule goes into effect on September 9th.
