**Removes private citizen lawsuit authority under the Clean Air Act.** The Fair Air Enforcement Act of 2025 would repeal Section 304 (42 U.S.C. 7604) and then scrub and renumber references to that provision across the Clean Air Act and related statutes, changing how private enforcement and certain economic impact assessment authorities are organized. - Families and local communities: Would lose the Section 304 citizen suit tool that lets private parties sue to address alleged Clean Air Act violations. This removes a common legal path communities use to seek enforcement. - Facilities and companies regulated under the Clean Air Act: Would no longer face enforcement actions initiated by private citizens under Section 304, reducing one source of litigation risk. - Regulators and statutory structure: The bill would make extensive conforming amendments and relocate or redesignate economic impact assessment sections to maintain internal consistency across several Clean Air Act provisions.
