About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 25, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that updated air pollution standards for lime manufacturing plants. The EPA rule, published in July 2024, updated the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants to reflect new technology and practices in the lime manufacturing industry. If passed, the resolution would nullify the EPA rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by Representatives Palmer and Grothman and affects lime manufacturers across the United States that would otherwise need to comply with the updated emissions standards. This type of legislative action, called a Congressional Review Act disapproval, allows Congress to reject federal regulations within a specific timeframe.
