House Passes Bill Stripping EPA of Clean Water Act Authority
The Republican-controlled House passed a bill yesterday that would severely limit the government’s part in protecting waters from pollution by barring the Environmental Protection Agency from overruling state decisions on water quality.
The bill passed on a 239-184 vote. Sixteen Democrats joined the majority of Republicans in supporting it.
The White House has already said they will consider a veto to the bill, saying it “would roll back the key provisions that have been the underpinning of 40 years of progress in making the nation’s waters fishable, swimmable and drinkable.”
The bill contains a provision requiring the EPA to determine whether its goal to protect water quality has a negative effect on job creation.
