Introduced July 22, 2025 by Sheldon Whitehouse · Last progress July 22, 2025
Nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of West Virginia’s Regional Haze State Implementation Plan for the second implementation period, declaring that EPA rule (published July 7, 2025) to have no force or effect. The action removes the federal approval and returns the regulatory status to what it was before that EPA action, creating immediate regulatory uncertainty for state regulators, affected industries, and communities concerned with air quality and visibility.
