Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution would reject an Environmental Protection Agency rule that sets renewable fuel blending requirements for 2026 and 2027 and grants a partial waiver for cellulosic biofuel requirements in 2025. If approved by both chambers of Congress and not vetoed by the President, the EPA rule would be canceled and have no legal effect. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a process that allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules with a simple majority vote in both the House and Senate. The resolution affects fuel refiners, biofuel producers, and ultimately consumers who purchase gasoline and diesel fuel, as the renewable fuel standards impact what blends of fuel are required at the pump. No specific funding or timeline is included in the legislation beyond the April 1, 2026 date when the EPA rule was originally published.
