HJRES 27 United States House · 119th Congress

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)".

HJRES 27 is a procedural resolution seeking to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regulating Trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical used in industrial cleaning. It asks Congress to disapprove the EPA's final rule (published December 17, 2024, in Federal Register 89 Fed. Reg. 102568) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which would have restricted TCE use. If passed, this resolution would prevent the EPA rule from taking effect, directly affecting industries and facilities that use TCE. The bill does not create new rules but aims to halt an existing EPA regulation through congressional disapproval.
