The White House environmental office can now spend its own money more easily

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) updated its rules for managing its own special fund. This means the office can now spend money from this fund more flexibly and efficiently for its operations.

The CEQ is a small but important White House office that coordinates environmental policy across federal agencies. For years, its internal fund rules were outdated, making it harder to use money for things like staff training or new equipment. This change means the office can now operate with fewer administrative hurdles, potentially making it more effective at its job.
