International solid waste importation and management act
In 2007, Rogers sponsored the International Solid Waste Importation and Management Act of 2007 (H.R. 518), which would amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to authorize states to restrict receipt of foreign municipal solid waste. The House passed the bill in April 24, 2007.
National Uniformity for Food Act
Rep. Rogers introduced the National Uniformity for Food Act in the House on October 27, 2005. The bill stated that no state or local government would be permitted to require a warning relating to food, including any component or package of the food, unless the specific warning had been required by the FDA and the state warning was identical to the FDA warning. This requirement of national uniformity in food warnings would apply to the food label, advertising, posters, public notices, and other forms of communication. The act was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, of which Rogers was a member, and the committee reported on it on February 28, 2006. The bill was passed by the House on March 8, 2006, and referred to the Senate, but no action was taken there.

Bio
Background
Rogers was born June 2, 1963 in Livingston County, Michigan. He graduated from Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan in 1985 and served in the United States Army from 1985-1989. He worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1989-1994. He was a member of the Michigan State Senate, 1995-2000, serving as majority floor leader, 1999-2000. [1]
Congressional Career
He was elected as a Republican from the 8th District of Michigan to the U.S. House of Representatives in one of the nation's closest congressional races of 2000. He edged out Democratic State Senator Dianne Byrum to win the seat left open by Debbie Stabenow. Stabenow was elected to the U.S. Senate.
On January 9, 2006, Rogers announced that he was running for Majority Whip in the U.S. House of Representatives. [2] [3] The then Whip Roy Blunt (R-Missouri) had been acting Majority Leader since Thomas D. DeLay (R-Texas) was forced to step down in September 2005. In early February, Rep. John Boehner was elected to the position. [4] [5]
2006 elections
In 2006, the Democrats nominated Jim Marcinkowski to face Rogers in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [6] Rogers retained his seat.
