The Plumbing Manufacturers Institute named Ronald S.
Calderon (D-Montebello), a member of the California State Senate, its 2007
Legislator of the Year, “in recognition of exemplary leadership on plumbing
manufacturing issues.”
According to PMI, Senator Calderon recently introduced legislation calling
for third-party certification that all affected plumbing products meet
California’s new “lead-free” formulation, thus assuring a level playing field
for manufacturers when the legislation takes effect in two
years.
