Republicans target Biden-era environmental regulations using Congressional Review Act
Republicans in Congress are leveraging the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to roll back key Biden-era environmental policies, including methane emission fees and water heater efficiency standards. Several CRA resolutions have already passed in both the U.S. House and Senate and are awaiting President Trump’s signature. The GOP's push against these rules reflects concerns about overregulation, with an emphasis on reducing energy-related red tape. Other targets include EPA regulations on harmful chemicals and the Interior Department’s updates to oil and gas safety standards.
