About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · December 17, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that establishes procedures for how oil and natural gas companies can comply with a new waste emissions charge and request exemptions or credits for their emissions. The rule, published in November 2024, sets out the methods companies can use to reduce their compliance obligations through netting arrangements and other exemptions. If passed, this resolution would completely eliminate the EPA's rule, preventing it from taking effect. The measure was introduced by House members from Texas and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution itself, as it simply seeks to disapprove and nullify the EPA's existing regulation.
