This joint resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that sets emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants. The resolution, if passed, would use Congress's authority to disapprove regulations under federal law to nullify the EPA's May 2024 rule requiring power plants to review and update their pollution controls for hazardous substances like mercury and arsenic. The measure affects electric utility companies that operate steam-generating units fueled by coal or oil, which would no longer be bound by the EPA's updated emissions standards if the resolution passes. There is no specific funding amount mentioned in the resolution, as its purpose is simply to block the regulation rather than allocate money. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
