This joint resolution seeks to reject an Environmental Protection Agency rule that establishes new pollution discharge standards for coal and natural gas-fired power plants. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a process that allows Congress to disapprove federal regulations within a limited timeframe. If approved, the rule would be nullified and have no legal effect, eliminating the EPA's new limits on water pollution from steam electric power generators. The legislation affects power plant operators and utilities that would have been required to comply with stricter wastewater discharge standards. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 by Republican representatives and would require approval by both the House and Senate as well as the President's signature to become law.
