Sovereign State Environmental Quality Assurance Act

# Sovereign State Environmental Quality Assurance Act (HR 3346) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would shift environmental regulatory authority from the federal government to individual states.

Different states could establish different pollution limits, water quality standards, and other environmental rules. **Current Status:** HR 3346 remains in committee with no action yet taken.
