Improving Science in Chemical Assessments Act
This bill modifies procedures related to specified chemical assessments performed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Additionally, the bill requires the EPA to establish a steering committee to ensure there is no duplication of effort by relevant program offices in conducting covered assessments.
