This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional authority under the Congressional Review Act to disapprove a recent rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The targeted rule is specifically titled "National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI)," which was published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024. If this resolution is passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, it would legally invalidate the EPA's aforementioned lead and copper drinking water regulations. As a result, the disapproved rule would have no force or effect , thereby preventing its implementation and enforcement.
