Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
S.J.Res. 73 is a congressional resolution that would block an Environmental Protection Agency rule limiting volatile organic compound emissions from aerosol coatings. If passed by both chambers of Congress, the resolution would completely cancel the EPA's interim final rule on this subject, which was published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2025. The resolution was introduced by Senator Whitehouse on August 1, 2025, and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. This type of resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to disapprove and eliminate federal regulations within a specified timeframe. The measure would affect manufacturers and users of aerosol coatings, as well as air quality standards that the EPA rule was designed to establish.
