Repeals the Clean Air Act's private citizen enforcement provision and updates cross-references and related statutes to remove citations to it.
Introduced October 23, 2025 by Mike Lee · Last progress October 23, 2025
Repeals the Clean Air Act provision that authorizes private citizens and groups to bring enforcement lawsuits and updates other laws and cross-references so the U.S. Code reads cleanly after that repeal. It makes technical edits in the Clean Air Act and one provision of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 to remove citations to the repealed provision and to fix references, numbering, and punctuation where needed. The change removes a private enforcement tool and shifts the primary responsibility for enforcing many Clean Air Act requirements back to government authorities and permitting/regulatory processes, while leaving the rest of the Act's standards and regulatory structure intact.
