A bill relating to equitable relief in civil actions brought for the purpose of protecting public health.

Provides that in any action brought by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency requesting equitable relief for the purpose of protecting public health, if a party shows that a defendant in such action is discharging or emitting any substance in violation of Federal law (or any State law which is enforceable under Federal law) and that such discharge or emission presents or contributes to a public health risk, the court shall grant such equitable relief as may be necessary promptly to assure that such discharge or emission does not present or contribute to such risks, unless the person who is discharging or emitting such substance demonstrates that: (1) the public health risk does not exist; or (2) it would be arbitrary or capricious to grant such relief (taking into account technological and economic considerations, and magnitude or risk).
