The Ending Green Giveaways Act would eliminate a federal funding program established under the Clean Air Act that provides block grants to support environmental and climate justice initiatives. Specifically, the bill repeals Section 138 of the Clean Air Act, which authorizes these grants to communities affected by pollution and climate change. The legislation also would cancel any unspent money that had been allocated for this program, returning those funds to the general Treasury rather than allowing them to be distributed. The bill does not specify a timeline for implementation or the total amount of funding that would be affected. Communities and organizations relying on these federal grants for environmental improvement projects would lose access to this funding source if the legislation becomes law.
