AI Summary

The bill also prohibits the use of funds to implement the Paris Agreement, authorizes the Keystone XL pipeline, rescinds the Climate Crisis Executive Order, and codifies the Navigable Waters Protection Rule and abrogates proposed changes to the definition of "waters of the United States."
