Summary of Bill S 2461

Bill 115 s 2461, also known as the Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act of 2018, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to prevent regulatory interference that could lead to the closure of kilns, which are used in various industries for processes such as drying, baking, and firing materials.

The bill aims to protect businesses that rely on kilns for their operations by prohibiting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from enforcing certain regulations that could result in the shutdown of these kilns. Supporters of the bill argue that these regulations are overly burdensome and could have negative economic impacts on industries that depend on kilns.

They believe that allowing kilns to operate without proper oversight could lead to increased pollution and health risks for nearby communities. Overall, the Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act of 2018 is a controversial piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate between economic interests and environmental concerns.
