No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Congress is considering blocking an Environmental Protection Agency rule that would change when companies have to start reporting on their use of PFAS chemicals (human-made substances used in products like non-stick cookware and water-resistant clothing). The rule would delay the deadline for companies to submit information about these chemicals, which some environmental groups worry could harm public health since PFAS chemicals have been linked to health problems. If approved, this resolution would overturn the EPA's decision and require companies to meet the original reporting deadline.
