Rulemaking Amendments

Summary

The bill adds new definitions and a “sound science” requirement for any state rule that deals with drinking water, air quality, hazardous waste, or related environmental health issues. Agencies must base such rules on reliable, peer‑reviewed science and cannot make them stricter than existing federal laws. The change aims to keep state regulations aligned with federal standards and grounded in solid research.
