Subject: Disapproving the Biden Administration's Onerous New Definition of WOTUS
Description: This Congressional Review Act resolution sponsored by Rep. Graves (R-MO) nullifies the Biden administration's new definition of "waters of the U.S." Had the executive branch been left to its own devices, the new definition would have overruled the old 2020 definition by expanding it to include certain wetlands and ephemeral waters. This measure, in turn, would have greatly increased the regulatory power of the EPA and associated entities. CPAC opposes any increase in the regulatory powers of the EPA, opposes major increases in regulatory burdens on American citizens, and supported this resolution.
Result: Bill Passed, 53-43
