Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI)".

This measure would overturn an EPA rule that set tougher standards to reduce lead in drinking water. The EPA’s rule would have required public water systems to replace all lead service lines, and some galvanized lines, within 10 years to help protect families from lead exposure . By nullifying that rule, these new requirements would not take effect . The rule being blocked is the EPA’s “National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI)” .

• Who this affects: communities served by public water systems, including households, schools, and businesses.
• What changes: without the rule, water systems would not be required under this policy to replace lead and certain galvanized service lines within 10 years .
• When: the EPA submitted the rule on October 30, 2024; this measure would nullify it so those changes do not move forward .
