Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill would restrict the amount of money the EPA can spend on its Inland Oil Spill Programs in the 2024 fiscal year.
These EPA programs are responsible for coordinating the federal response to oil spills that occur inland, away from coastal areas.
By limiting the funding for these programs, the bill could reduce the EPA's ability to effectively respond to and clean up future inland oil spills.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it would directly impact the EPA's capacity to address inland oil spills, which can have serious environmental and economic consequences for nearby communities. Reduced funding could make it harder for the agency to quickly mobilize resources and expertise to contain damage from future spills.
