SJRES 19 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Trichloroethylene (TCE); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)".

This joint resolution seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would have regulated the chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The rule, published in December 2024, aimed to establish new safety standards for TCE - a chemical used in industrial cleaning and manufacturing that can pose health risks. Congress would disapprove the rule through a specific federal process, preventing it from taking effect. If passed, this resolution would maintain current regulations for TCE without the proposed EPA requirements.
