119th (2025–2027)
S.J.Res. 210
This joint resolution would block an Environmental Protection Agency rule regulating pollution emissions from nonroad engines and commercial harbor craft under California's state pollution control standards. The resolution uses a congressional disapproval process under federal law that allows Congress to reject regulations within a specific timeframe. If passed, the EPA rule published on January 10, 2025, would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced in August 2026 and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works for consideration. This type of measure requires a simple majority vote to pass and, if it does, would prevent the EPA from enforcing these particular emissions standards for nonroad engines and commercial shipping vessels operating in or subject to California's regulations.
