Summary

The Senate joint resolution would use the congressional disapproval authority to overturn an EPA rule that shifts when companies must begin submitting PFAS chemical data under the Toxic Substances Control Act. It targets the EPA's regulatory change and would keep the existing reporting timeline in place. The move reflects concerns about the rule’s timing and impact on industry reporting obligations.
