About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 17, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency rule that would reclassify certain major pollution sources as area sources under the Clean Air Act. The rule, finalized by the EPA on September 10, 2024, would change how the federal government regulates and monitors emissions from large industrial facilities. If approved by Congress, this resolution would overturn the EPA rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The legislation was introduced by a group of House Republicans and would use the Congressional Review Act, a fast-track process that allows Congress to disapprove federal regulations. The resolution directly affects industrial facilities subject to Clean Air Act requirements and would alter the regulatory landscape for air quality enforcement across the country.
