About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 1, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that sets pollution emissions standards for cars and light trucks manufactured in 2027 and beyond. The rule, which the EPA finalized in April 2024, establishes multi-pollutant emissions requirements for passenger vehicles and medium-duty vehicles. If passed, this resolution would completely eliminate the rule and prevent it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by Senator Ricketts and co-sponsored by a large group of senators from both parties, though predominantly Republicans. This type of resolution uses a congressional procedure called the Congressional Review Act, which allows lawmakers to disapprove of federal agency regulations.
