This resolution is Congress voting to cancel a rule the EPA published in April 2026. That rule had shifted the timeline for when certain businesses had to start submitting reports about PFAS chemicals. If this resolution becomes law, the EPA's timeline change would be erased and treated as if it never existed.
Businesses and other entities that manufacture, process, or use PFAS chemicals would be most directly affected. The reporting schedule they were following under the revised EPA rule would no longer apply to them.
The reporting timeline that businesses had been using would revert to what it was before the EPA made its change. Companies would need to follow the original schedule for disclosing information about PFAS chemicals under federal law.
