Summary of Bill HJRES 27
The bill 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, the EPA's rule on TCE regulation is being called into question.
The EPA's rule on TCE regulation under the TSCA is intended to protect public health and the environment by setting limits on the use and exposure to this potentially harmful chemical. However, some members of Congress believe that the rule may be overly restrictive or burdensome on businesses and industries that rely on TCE for their operations. If Bill 119 hjres 27 is passed, it would signify Congress's disapproval of the EPA's rule on TCE regulation. This could potentially lead to changes in the way TCE is regulated under the TSCA, impacting how the chemical is used and managed in various industries. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 27 is a significant piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over environmental regulations and the balance between protecting public health and supporting economic growth.
