Requires a study on how many homes are near Superfund sites

This bill would require the government's watchdog, the Comptroller General, to study how many homes, including public housing, are located within one mile of Superfund sites. This information would then be reported to Congress within six months, helping lawmakers understand how many people live close to these hazardous waste areas.

What Would Change

Currently, there is no official government study that counts how many homes are near Superfund sites. If this bill passes, the Comptroller General would be required to conduct such a study and provide a report to Congress within six months, detailing the number of homes, including public housing, within one mile of each site.

Key Provisions

Requires the Comptroller General to study how many homes are within one mile of Superfund sites.
Requires the Comptroller General to count how many public housing units are within one mile of Superfund sites.
Requires the Comptroller General to send a report to Congress about this study within six months of the bill becoming law.
