Bill Summary

Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine and Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; The 'Omnibus' Low NOX Regulation; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".

AI Summary

This joint resolution provides congressional disapproval of a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regarding California's motor vehicle and engine pollution control standards. The resolution targets the "Omnibus Low NOX Regulation", which is a comprehensive set of rules designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions from vehicles and engines. By invoking Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, Congress is exercising its power to review and potentially nullify federal agency regulations. The resolution specifically states that the EPA rule published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2025, shall have no force or effect, effectively blocking the implementation of these pollution control standards. This action suggests potential disagreement between Congress and the EPA about the scope, necessity, or implementation of these environmental regulations, which are specifically focused on California's unique state-level pollution control efforts.
