Chemical Disaster Prevention Act
This bill freezes the EPA's ability to change existing chemical safety rules for 5 years. It prevents the EPA from revising or replacing the 2024 rule requiring chemical facilities to prevent accidental releases (the "Risk Management Programs" rule). The freeze applies from enactment until January 20, 2029, affecting EPA's regulatory authority over chemical plants. It directly impacts chemical facilities subject to the existing safety requirements and the EPA's enforcement actions.
