The bill, which includes funding for both the EPA and the Interior Department, would bring the EPA’s topline funding level down to its lowest in decades.

It has virtually no chance of becoming law, since it won’t make it past the Senate or President Biden. But it provides a starting point for Republicans as they look to negotiate government funding in the months ahead. 

The bill is one of 12 annual funding bills the GOP hoped to have passed by a Nov. 17 deadline to prevent a shutdown. However, Republicans face a challenge in staying unified on spending as they look to approve the remaining five bills in the tight window.  

Here are some other provisions from the bill that passed the House Friday:

• Slashes Inflation Reduction Act programs aimed at helping underserved communities fight pollution and climate change
• Defunds agency efforts to enforce power plant regulations
• Cuts the National Park Service budget by 13 percent
• Requires twice-annual offshore oil lease sales in Alaska and parts of the Gulf of Mexico
