Other "green" legislation

    

     This section considers "green" legislation that is unrelated to FEMA or weather, infrastructure, fossil fuels and public utilities, agriculture, and public lands.
     That said, if legislation appeared to be critical both to e.g., agriculture and environment, you will find it both under agriculture and here. Perfect example: Regulations and legislation centering on the use of pesticides.
     This topic is also one that attracts a great many "executive communications" or ECs, directives handed down from agencies. An EC simply alerts Congress to the new rule. It is then up to Congress whether to nullify the rule, ignore it, or turn it into law.
     Any bill in this section that would protect the environment or that takes climate change into account will likely not pass until we flip Congress. And the White House.

Proposed legislation:

• August 7, 2025 - September 19, 2025: 
• July 17, 2025 - August 6, 2025: Republicans pushed through bills revising the definition of showerhead, promoting energy efficiency, and repealing rebates for homeowners installing alternative energy sources like solar. Democratic and Bipartisan efforts included tort for pesticide injury, microplastics and -fiber safety, standards for lithium batteries, brownfields sites, and underground storage of ethanol. Trump personally issued three PMs exempting "certain stationary sources" from EPA guidelines for taconite iron ore, coal, and ethylene oxide.
