Blocks EPA rule on trichloroethylene
If enacted, this resolution would void the EPA rule titled "Trichloroethylene (TCE); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)" (89 Fed. Reg. 102568, Dec. 17, 2024). The EPA rule would have no force or effect upon enactment. Businesses that make, use, or store TCE would no longer be bound by the regulatory requirements in that rule. Workers and people living near TCE sites could have fewer federal protections against exposure. The resolution does not change other laws, funding, or create new rules.
