Bill > SJRes24

This joint resolution is a congressional mechanism to invalidate a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants in the Rubber Tire Manufacturing industry. The resolution, if passed, would formally disapprove the EPA rule published on November 29, 2024, effectively nullifying its legal standing and preventing it from being implemented. By using its authority under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, Congress is exercising its power to review and potentially overturn federal agency regulations. The specific rule in question appears to relate to emission standards for hazardous air pollutants generated by rubber tire manufacturing facilities, though the detailed technical specifics are not provided in the resolution text. The resolution's straightforward language indicates that if approved, the EPA rule would be considered to have "no force or effect," meaning it would be legally void and unenforceable.
