Summary of Bill HR 1066

Bill 119 HR 1066, also known as the Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Repeal Act, aims to repeal section 138 of the Clean Air Act. This section currently provides funding for environmental and climate justice block grants, which are intended to support communities disproportionately affected by environmental issues.

The bill has sparked debate among lawmakers, with supporters arguing that the block grants are essential for addressing environmental injustices and providing much-needed assistance to marginalized communities. Opponents, on the other hand, believe that the grants are unnecessary and that funding should be allocated elsewhere.

If passed, the repeal of section 138 would mean that the funding for environmental and climate justice block grants would no longer be available. This could have significant implications for communities that rely on this funding to address environmental challenges and promote sustainability. Overall, the bill raises important questions about the role of government in addressing environmental injustices and the best way to allocate resources to support communities in need. It will be interesting to see how lawmakers navigate these complex issues as they consider the future of environmental and climate justice block grants.
