We commend Representatives @reppaultonko.bsky.social and Brian Fitzpatrick for reintroducing the Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act. This bipartisan bill will ensure that EPA has authority and resources necessary to better protect children and the public health from poor indoor air quality.
Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) impacts kids and communities across our nation. Today, my colleague Brian Fitzpatrick and I introduced the bipartisan Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act to address this threat, improve IAQ nationwide, and protect public health.
