About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · August 10, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution uses Congress's authority under federal law to reject an Environmental Protection Agency rule that allows California to set its own pollution control standards for commercial harbor craft and other nonroad engines. The rule, which was published in the Federal Register on January 10, 2025, would be nullified if this resolution passes, meaning California could not enforce its stricter emissions standards on these types of vessels and equipment. The resolution was introduced by Representatives Gallagher and Fong and affects California's ability to regulate pollution from commercial shipping operations and nonroad engines within its borders. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution. This type of congressional disapproval uses an expedited legislative process that allows Congress to block federal regulations within a set period after they are issued.
