Congressman Yakym Votes to Reverse Burdensome Biden-era Rules

<p><strong>WASHINGTON D.C. </strong>&#8211;&nbsp; Today, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) released a statement after voting in favor of reversing two burdensome Biden-era rules from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE):</p>

<p>&#8220;The Biden administration took pride in imposing absurd, out-of-touch regulations—from rubber tires to gas stoves,&#8221;<strong> Rep. Yakym said. </strong>&#8220;The EPA and DOE&#8217;s restrictions burdened Indiana&#8217;s small businesses, killing jobs, raising costs, and stifling innovation. I&#8217;m proud to have voted to repeal these job-killing rules and restore common sense.&#8221;</p>
