Earthjustice Statement on FY26 Interior-Environment Appropriations Bill

Earthjustice criticizes the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee's FY26 bill for proposing deep budget cuts to the Interior Department and the EPA, including a roughly 23% reduction for the EPA.

• The House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee's proposed Interior-Environment Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2026 includes significant budget reductions for the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically cutting the EPA's budget by approximately 23%.
• Earthjustice Legislative Director Addie Haughey asserts that the bill includes policy riders consisting of industry handouts and a focus on "culture war issues," while arguing that the bill further advances a deregulatory agenda and undermines agencies responsible for protecting wildlife, public lands, clean air, clean water, and the climate.
