Summary

Declares that the Environmental Protection Agency's December 17, 2024 final rule on trichloroethylene (TCE) under the Toxic Substances Control Act has no force or effect. The resolution removes the legal effect of that specific EPA regulation immediately upon enactment. The change directly affects companies that make, import, or use TCE, workplaces and workers exposed to TCE, EPA enforcement actions tied to that rule, and public‑health and community protections that would have flowed from the regulation. It does not appropriate funds or create new programs; it simply nullifies the listed federal rule.

• The resolution nullifies EPA's December 17, 2024 final rule on trichloroethylene (TCE) (89 Fed. Reg. 102568).
• Once enacted, the specified EPA rule "shall have no force or effect," removing its regulatory requirements.
• Chemical manufacturers, importers, and downstream users of TCE would no longer be subject to the rule's obligations.
• Workers and nearby communities would not gain protections or exposure limits that the nullified rule might have provided.
• EPA loses the ability to enforce the specific rule's provisions, though it could act under other statutory authorities.
• States can still adopt or retain their own TCE regulations independent of this federal action.
• The resolution does not create new spending, authorize programs, or change the tax code.
• Nullification may prompt legal challenges or a future regulatory response from EPA or other agencies.
