Bill Summary
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles".
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, passed by Congress, formally rejects and nullifies a rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would have set new "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards" for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles manufactured from model year 2027 onwards. The EPA is the federal agency responsible for protecting human health and the environment, and its rules are published in the Federal Register, a daily journal of the U.S. government. This resolution uses a process outlined in Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies. By disapproving the rule, Congress is preventing these stricter emissions standards from taking effect for new cars and trucks starting in 2027.
