The widespread use of chemicals in our society has resulted in an increased demand for full-scale health investigations, assessment of resource damages, and health effects information. Increased reporting, comprehensive unbiased investigation capability, and enhanced community education efforts are required to maintain this state's responsibilities to provide for public health and safety.

Declares an intent that the various state agencies responsible for chemical use and regulation coordinate their activities in a timely manner to ensure adequate monitoring of chemical use and protection of workers, adults, and children from the effects of toxic chemical exposure.

Designates the duties and responsibilities of the panel.
