Republicans Question the Department of Health and Human Service’s Authority to Establish Climate Office
14th December 2021
A group of House Republican leaders raised concerns Tuesday about the new climate office created by the Department of Health and Human Services.
It remains unclear what statutory authority, if any, the Department of Health and Human Services’ climate office has and if its mission is “duplicative” of other government programs, two top GOP members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote in a letter to Health Secretary Xavier Becerra on Tuesday.
