Bill Summary
A 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 "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 seeks to disapprove a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule related to California's motor vehicle and engine pollution control standards. The rule in question, known as the "Omnibus" Low NOx (nitrogen oxides) Regulation, would have established new pollution control standards for vehicles and engines in California. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the EPA's rule, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution uses a mechanism under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially reject federal agency regulations. If passed, the rule would be considered void, meaning the proposed pollution control standards would not be implemented. The resolution specifically targets a rule published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2025, and declares that the EPA's regulation shall have no legal force or effect.
