This joint resolution seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency rule governing how electric utilities must dispose of coal combustion residuals, which are ash-like byproducts left over from burning coal for electricity. The EPA issued this rule in May 2024 to establish standards for managing legacy coal ash storage areas, particularly surface impoundments (large storage ponds). If passed, this resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to nullify the EPA rule, preventing it from taking effect. The measure is supported by 24 House Republicans, primarily representing coal-producing and coal-dependent states. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as its sole purpose is to reject the EPA's regulatory action.
