ABC Joins Coalition in Supporting WOTUS CRA

On March 9, the House is scheduled to consider H.J. Res. 27, a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers 2023 revised Waters of the United States regulation.

The Biden Administration’s flawed, burdensome, and overreaching WOTUS rule will result in sweeping changes to the federal government’s authority to regulate what is considered a navigable water, with enormous impacts on small businesses, developers and contractors. The rule will cause building delays due to regulatory uncertainty, plus increased permitting and mitigation costs.

On Feb. 27, ABC joined broad coalition of industry stakeholders in support of the CRA during committee consideration, and will be key voting this resolution for our scorecard on the 118th Congress.
