Banning Federal Agencies from Considering Environmental Justice in Rulemaking.
This bill prevents federal agencies from considering environmental justice standards—how rules affect minority and low-income populations—when creating new regulations. This means environmental and climate decisions will no longer be required to specifically address disproportionate burdens on vulnerable communities. Furthermore, the act repeals three major Executive Orders focused on climate action and environmental justice.
Key points
Federal agencies will be prohibited from considering the impact of new environmental rules on minority and low-income communities, unless explicitly required by existing law.
Three significant Executive Orders related to environmental justice and tackling the climate crisis are immediately repealed, altering the government's approach to these issues.
