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 34 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regulating Trichloroethylene (TCE) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). It seeks to block the EPA's final rule (published December 17, 2024) that would have imposed new controls on TCE, a chemical used in industrial cleaning and manufacturing. If passed, this resolution would prevent the EPA rule from taking effect, directly affecting industries using TCE and the regulatory framework for chemical safety under TSCA. The bill does not create new rules but halts an existing EPA regulation through a procedural congressional review process.
