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 "Modification to the Start of the Submission Period for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Under TSCA 8(a)(7)".

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.

SJRES204referred2026-08-03

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration relating to "Rescinding the Definition of 'Harm' Under the Endangered Species Act".

Congress is considering blocking a rule change that would narrow what counts as "harm" to endangered species under federal law, which could make it easier for businesses and developers to operate in ways that affect protected animals without needing special permits. If approved, this would overturn the Fish and Wildlife Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's attempt to limit protections for endangered species. The change would primarily affect companies involved in construction, logging, and other development projects, as well as conservation groups working to protect wildlife.

Judicial Space and Facilities Management Effectiveness Act of 2026

The bill would improve how federal courthouses are maintained, repaired, and built across the country by updating the rules that govern these projects. This affects judges, court staff, and the public who use courthouses for legal proceedings, as well as construction companies and contractors hired to work on these facilities. The changes aim to make courthouse upkeep more efficient and ensure these buildings remain in good condition for the justice system to operate properly.

Wildfire Air Quality Sensor Expansion Act of 2026

The federal government would be allowed to use existing money from Clean Air Act programs to buy air quality sensors that measure pollution levels in communities. These sensors would help cities and states better monitor and understand air pollution in their areas, which could improve public health by identifying problem areas that need attention. The change clarifies how environmental agencies can spend grants they already receive for air quality improvements.

MRRRI Act

The federal government would create a new program to fund and oversee projects that protect and restore the Mississippi River and the surrounding area, helping to prevent flooding, improve water quality, and preserve natural habitats along the river corridor. This initiative would affect communities living near the Mississippi River, environmental organizations, state and local governments, and businesses that depend on the river for transportation or resources. The program would coordinate restoration efforts across multiple states to address long-term environmental and safety challenges in the region.

Wildfire Reduction Market Expansion Act of 2026

The proposal would change how the government defines renewable biomass—materials like wood and agricultural waste that can be converted into fuel—under the renewable fuel standard, which requires fuel companies to blend renewable fuels into gasoline and diesel. These changes could affect which types of biomass qualify for use in renewable fuel production, potentially impacting farmers, forestry companies, and fuel producers who rely on these standards. The bill is currently under review by the Senate's environmental committee.
