Bill > HJRes30

This resolution is a congressional disapproval measure targeting a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regarding the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are potent greenhouse gases commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning. The resolution, using procedures outlined in Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code (a legal mechanism for Congress to review and potentially nullify federal regulations), seeks to invalidate the EPA's rule published on October 11, 2024, which was related to implementing the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020. If passed, the resolution would effectively nullify the EPA's regulatory approach to managing HFCs and their substitutes, meaning the specific rule would have no legal force or effect. This type of resolution is part of Congress's oversight mechanism, allowing legislators to challenge and potentially block federal agency regulations they believe are inappropriate or exceed the agency's authority.
