IN HR0036

Urges the Indiana Legislative Council to establish an interim study committee to examine the use of coal tar pavement products in the state

Cites that coal tar preparations containing more than 5% crude coal tar are classified as Group 1 carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer

Notes that coal tar base sealants contain high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which pollute the environment, wildlife, and people

Indicates the study should evaluate whether a ban on coal tar pavement products in Indiana is justified based on environmental and public health effects

Requires the committee, if established, to operate under legislative council direction and issue a final report when directed
