Bill Summary

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI)".

AI Summary

This joint resolution is a congressional action aimed at blocking a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning drinking water regulations. Specifically, the resolution targets the "National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements" (LCRI) rule published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024. By passing this resolution, Congress would formally disapprove the EPA rule, effectively preventing it from being implemented or having any legal standing. This type of action falls under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which provides Congress with a mechanism to review and potentially nullify federal agency regulations. The resolution declares that the EPA's rule shall have "no force or effect," meaning the proposed improvements to drinking water regulations related to lead and copper would be canceled before they could be put into practice.
