Moolenaar Votes For a More Transparent EPA

Today, the House of Representatives passed legislation that will require the EPA to base any new rules it writes on scientific research that is available to the public. Currently, the EPA can write and implement rules based on scientific research that is hidden from the public. Today's legislation would end that practice.

Congressman Moolenaar voted for today's legislation and released the following statement:

"Transparency at the EPA is vital to ensuring that Americans continue to breathe clean air and drink clean water. Today's legislation will ensure that the EPA uses publicly available sound science when it writes regulations to protect clean air and water for all Americans."
