Bills Introduced – 12-19-22

Yesterday, with just the Senate in session, there were ten bills introduced. Two of those bills may see additional coverage in this blog:

S 5294 A bill to amend the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 to establish within the Environmental Protection Agency the Office of Mountains, Deserts, and Plains, and for other purposes. Kelly, Mark [Sen.-D-AZ]

S 5298 A bill to provide the Under Secretary for Science and Technology of the Department of Homeland Security with the authority to temporarily extend the duration of protections provided under the SAFETY Act, and for other purposes. Peters, Gary C. [Sen.-D-MI]

I will be watching S 5294 for language that would provide additional regulatory authority to the EPA.

I will be watching S 5298.
