Bill > HRes779

This Resolution sets the rules for debating and voting on H.B. 535, a bill that would require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to officially classify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as hazardous substances. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals found in many products, and designating them as hazardous under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), often called Superfund, would allow the EPA to more effectively address and clean up contamination caused by these substances. The resolution outlines a specific process for considering the bill, including limiting debate time, waiving certain procedural objections, and specifying which amendments can be offered, ultimately paving the way for a vote on the bill.
