Trevor's Law, a bill that will allow for tracking of clusters of cancer has passed Congress, after seven years of work and delay. The bill is named after Idaho childhood cancer survivor, Trevor Schaefer, and was introduced by U.S. Senator Mike Crapo. a survivor of cancer himself.
After introducing the bill in 2011 with California Senator Barbara Baxter and Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chariman James Inhofe, Crapo was able to get the bill passed this year. Noting the importance of this event, Crapo stated, "Every American, directly or indirectly, has been affected in some form by cancer and this legislation is another tool to continue fighting the disease...the passage of Trevor's Law is a testament to the determination and commitment of many people."
