Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI)".

HJRES 44 is a congressional resolution seeking to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule titled "National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI)" that was published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024. The bill directs Congress to disapprove this specific EPA rule under a federal process outlined in Title 5, U.S. Code, which would prevent the rule from taking effect. If passed, the resolution would nullify the EPA's updated regulations aimed at improving lead and copper testing and treatment standards in public drinking water systems. This resolution directly affects the implementation of the EPA's proposed water quality standards and would halt the rule's enforcement.
