Summary of Bill HJRES 76

Bill 119 hjres 76 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding updates to new chemicals regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). 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.

The EPA's rule in question pertains to changes in the regulations governing the approval process for new chemicals under the TSCA. The TSCA is a federal law that regulates the manufacture, import, processing, distribution, use, and disposal of chemicals in the United States. The EPA's proposed updates to these regulations would impact how new chemicals are evaluated for potential risks to human health and the environment before they can be introduced into the market.

If Bill 119 hjres 76 is passed, it would signify Congress's disapproval of the EPA's rule and prevent it from being implemented. This action would require the EPA to go back to the drawing board and potentially revise their proposed updates to the new chemicals regulations under the TSCA. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 76 is a significant piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over how best to regulate new chemicals in the United States to ensure the safety of the public and the environment.
