Summary of Bill HJRES 45

Overall, Bill 119 hjres 45 represents a pushback against the EPA's proposed rule on Dust-Lead Hazard Standards and Dust-Lead Post-Abatement Clearance Levels. It highlights the ongoing debate between regulatory agencies and Congress over the balance between environmental protection and economic interests.
