This joint resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule governing pollution standards for small off-road engines, following California's stricter environmental regulations. The rule, published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2025, would allow California to set its own nonroad engine pollution control standards, which typically means engines used in equipment like lawnmowers, chainsaws, and leaf blowers. If Congress approves this disapproval measure, the EPA rule would be nullified and have no legal effect. The resolution was submitted by Representative Jay Obernolte and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This action reflects an ongoing congressional debate over whether states like California should have authority to set pollution standards stricter than federal requirements, and it affects manufacturers of small engines and environmental policy across the country.
