About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · August 6, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution would reject an Environmental Protection Agency rule that allows California to set its own pollution control standards for ocean-going vessels docked at ports. The rule, which was published in October 2023, gives California authority over emissions from ships while they are at berth, rather than having uniform federal standards apply nationwide. If approved, the resolution would effectively cancel this EPA regulation and prevent it from taking effect. The joint resolution was submitted by Representatives Fong and Gallagher and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in August 2026. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as it simply seeks to disapprove and invalidate the existing EPA rule.
