Bill 118 hr 2194, also known as the "Limitation on Availability of Funds for Environmental Protection Agency, Hazards Substance Superfund for Fiscal Year 2024," aims to restrict the amount of funds that can be allocated to the Environmental Protection Agency's Hazards Substance Superfund for the fiscal year 2024. The Hazards Substance Superfund is a program that addresses the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and responds to environmental emergencies.
The bill proposes limitations on the availability of funds for this program, which could potentially impact the EPA's ability to effectively address hazardous waste sites and environmental emergencies. This limitation on funds could result in delays or limitations in cleanup efforts, potentially putting public health and the environment at risk.
It is important to note that this bill does not eliminate funding for the Hazards Substance Superfund entirely, but rather places restrictions on the amount of funds that can be allocated for the program in fiscal year 2024. This limitation on funds could have significant implications for the EPA's ability to carry out its responsibilities related to hazardous waste cleanup and environmental protection.
Overall, Bill 118 hr 2194 raises concerns about the potential impact on environmental protection efforts and public health if funding for the Hazards Substance Superfund is limited in fiscal year 2024. It is important for lawmakers and stakeholders to carefully consider the implications of this bill and its potential effects on the EPA's ability to address hazardous waste sites and environmental emergencies.
