Bill Summary
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Trichloroethylene (TCE); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)".
AI Summary
This joint resolution seeks to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a recently issued Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regarding Trichloroethylene (TCE), a potentially harmful chemical regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Specifically, the resolution declares that the EPA's rule published on December 17, 2024, will be completely invalidated and have no legal standing. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively block the EPA's regulatory action concerning TCE, preventing the rule from being implemented or enforced. The use of the CRA allows Congress to review and potentially overturn federal agency rules within a specific timeframe, providing legislative oversight of regulatory actions.
