The Department of Justice has extended the public comment period for a proposed consent decree involving Home Depot by 30 days. This extension gives the public until February 22, 2021, to submit their comments. The lawsuit claims Home Depot violated the Toxic Substances Control Act by performing renovations without using EPA-certified firms. The proposed agreement requires Home Depot to pay a $20,750,000 penalty and start a compliance program.
Simple Explanation
The Justice Department says people have more time to tell them what they think about a plan where Home Depot will pay money because they didn't follow rules while fixing houses. They now have until February 22, 2021, to share their thoughts.
