No IRIS Act of 2024
The No IRIS Act of 2024 prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using assessments generated by its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program as the primary data source for three specific actions: developing environmental regulations, carrying out regulatory decisions, or informing the National Air Toxics Assessment. This bill directly affects the EPA's process for incorporating scientific data into rulemaking and regulatory enforcement. It does not ban IRIS assessments entirely but restricts their use as the main basis for these key EPA functions. The policy change alters how the agency relies on IRIS findings in environmental policy decisions.
