(Washington, D.C.) -- Missouri 6th District Congressman Sam Graves, who chairs the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, introduced a joint resolution of disapproval on the Biden Administration- Waters of the United States rule, which will be effective March 20, 2023.
The rule relates to the protections that were in place in 2015 under the Clean Water Act for traditional navigable waters, bolstering protections for sources of drinking water, in addition to supporting agriculture.
Congressman Graves, in a statement, says that this burdensome rule is flawed and has enormous impacts on everyday Americans. He also calls the rule an unnecessary drain on federal resources. A Senate Joint Resolution was also introduced in the U.S. Senate.
