This legislation is just the latest in a long line of Republican bills meant to undermine and even block agency rulemaking altogether. This bill would not only erect another hurdle to the creation of critical rules that protect our air, water, land, and livelihood, but it would also require years of litigation to determine what the vague terms of the bill mean. We should reject any effort that would prevent agencies from issuing lifesaving regulations. Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to oppose this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
