This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific EPA rule that changed the timeline for when companies must begin submitting reports on their use of PFAS chemicals, commonly known as "forever chemicals," under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Using authority granted by the Congressional Review Act, lawmakers are formally disapproving the rule, which was published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2026, and would delay when the reporting and recordkeeping requirements take effect. If passed, the resolution would nullify the EPA's rule entirely, meaning it would have no legal force, effectively reverting to the original reporting timeline requirements. This action primarily affects manufacturers, processors, and importers of PFAS chemicals who must comply with EPA's tracking and disclosure rules, as well as public health advocates concerned about regulatory delays for these substances linked to environmental and health risks. The resolution was introduced by Senator Whitehouse and advanced out of committee via petition in July 2026, now placed on the Senate calendar for further action.
