Bill Summary

Joint Resolution Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to ‘‘Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards’’.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution, passed by Congress, formally disapproves a rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning the control of air pollution from new heavy-duty engines and vehicles. The EPA's rule, published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2023, aimed to set new standards for emissions from these types of vehicles. By invoking Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and overturn regulations issued by federal agencies, this resolution effectively nullifies the EPA's proposed standards, meaning they will not be implemented or have any legal standing.
