Bill 119 SJRes 19 is a joint resolution in the US Congress that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the regulation of Trichloroethylene (TCE) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). TCE is a chemical commonly used in industrial processes and has been linked to serious health risks, including cancer and neurological disorders. The resolution falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations proposed by federal agencies. In this case, Congress is seeking to disapprove of the EPA's rule on TCE regulation, indicating that they believe the rule is not in the best interest of the public or does not align with the goals of the TSCA. The resolution is non-partisan and aims to provide a thoughtful analysis of the EPA's rule on TCE regulation. It is important for Congress to carefully consider the potential health and environmental impacts of TCE and ensure that any regulations put in place are effective in protecting the public. This resolution highlights the ongoing debate and scrutiny surrounding chemical regulation in the United States and the role of Congress in overseeing federal agency actions.
