EPA Wins $200 Million Boost In Lawmakers' FY20 Spending 'Minibus'

摘要

House and Senate lawmakers have released consensus spending bills for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 that would raise EPA's annual budget to $9 billion, an increase of $207 million over FY19 levels, according to a summary released by Senate Democrats. The budget bill does not include legislation that Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) and other lawmakers were hoping to include governing EPA regulations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which was recently stripped from separate defense authorization legislation.
