H.R. 4777 · 118th Congress

CLEANER Act of 2023

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

CLEANER Act of 2023 or the Closing Loopholes and Ending Arbitrary and Needless Evasion of Regulations Act of 2023

This bill eliminates the exemption of waste associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal energy from regulations governing the disposal of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Within a year of enactment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must

  • determine whether such waste meets the criteria for hazardous waste,
  • promulgate regulations concerning the disposal of such waste if the EPA determines it is hazardous, and
  • revise regulations applicable to solid waste management and disposal facilities (e.g., landfills) to address such waste that is nonhazardous.
