This bill would abolish the Environmental Protection Agency and transfer its responsibilities to state governments within 270 days of passage. The legislation would allocate $4.4 billion annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2029 to state environmental quality departments, distributed based on each state's population as determined by the most recent census. An additional $880 million per year would be provided to the Treasury Department to audit and administer these allocations, along with $880 million annually to the Congressional Budget Office to study and report on how effectively the transition works. The bill affects all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several U.S. territories by shifting environmental regulatory authority from federal to state control. The EPA Administrator would be required to submit a progress report to Congress within 90 days of enactment detailing plans to wind down the agency's operations.
