Blocks EPA from changing rules meant to prevent chemical accidents until 2029.
This bill would stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from changing a key rule designed to prevent chemical accidents. For the next few years, the rules for how chemical plants and other facilities manage dangerous chemicals would stay exactly as they are now. This means the EPA would not be able to update or revise these specific safety requirements until 2029.
Today, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can propose or make changes to the rules that help prevent chemical accidents. If this bill becomes law, the EPA would be blocked from changing these specific rules. These rules are known as the "Accidental Release Prevention Requirements" (89 Fed. Reg. 17622; March 11, 2024). This block would last from the date the bill passes until January 20, 2029.
