Chemical Disaster Prevention Act

This bill would bar the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from changing a 2024 federal rule on preventing accidental chemical releases. The rule, issued under the Clean Air Act, sets requirements for risk management programs at facilities that handle certain chemicals. Under the bill, the EPA Administrator could not propose, finalize, or carry out any action to reconsider, revise, or replace that rule. The ban would last from the date the bill becomes law until January 20, 2029.
