Requires the EPA to permanently protect children from environmental health risks.
This bill would make sure the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) always has a dedicated office and advisory committee focused on protecting children's health. It would require the EPA to identify and address environmental dangers that especially affect infants, children, and teenagers, backed by specific funding.
Today, the EPA has an office and committee focused on children's environmental health, but their existence and funding are not guaranteed by law. This bill would legally require the EPA to maintain the Office of Children's Health Protection and its advisory committee. It would give them specific duties and set aside about $13.2 million each year from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030 to pay for their work.
