Congressional Review Act (Executive Calendar)
The Senate considered a Congressional Review Act resolution (S.J. Res. 187) that would overturn the EPA’s decision to delay the start date for a rule requiring companies to report their use of PFAS chemicals. Senator Whitehouse argued PFAS is toxic and the public needs the reporting information now, and said he doubts EPA’s effort given repeated missed deadlines. Senator Capito opposed the resolution, saying the EPA’s data-collection system is not finished, that moving up the deadline will not fix pollution, and that businesses would be penalized for missing a deadline they cannot meet. She urged a no vote; Whitehouse urged passage and said, if it failed, the Senate should return to press EPA on the delays.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
