Abolish Environmental Protection Agency
Official: Sovereign State Environmental Quality Assurance Act
This bill aims to close the Environmental Protection Agency and give states control over environmental programs with federal funding. It shifts responsibility for environmental protection from a federal agency to state governments.
1. This bill would eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency entirely. 2. All responsibilities and programs of the Environmental Protection Agency would end 270 days after the bill is passed. 3. States would receive federal funds to manage their own environmental programs. 4. Governors must designate state agencies to use these funds for air and water quality, waste management, and chemical safety. 5. The bill allocates $4.4 billion each year from 2026 to 2029 for state environmental programs.
State governments and their environmental departments will be directly impacted, along with communities relying on clean air and water.
