Environment and Public Health Restoration Act of 2006
Summary
H.R. 5235, the Environment and Public Health Restoration Act of 2006, seeks to evaluate and strengthen federal protections for the nation's air, water, and land. The bill would require the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study on how specific environmental regulations and laws—including those related to clean air, clean water, and forest management—impact public health and the ecosystem. Based on these findings, federal agencies would be required to develop and submit plans to Congress detailing how they will restore or improve environmental safeguards for the benefit of current and future generations.
