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 "Air Plan Approval; Florida; Revisions to Stationary Sources-Removal of Clean Air Interstate Rule Provisions".
AI Summary
This joint resolution is a congressional mechanism to disapprove a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule related to air quality regulations in Florida. Specifically, the resolution targets a rule published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2025, which concerns revisions to stationary sources and the removal of Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) provisions. By passing this resolution, Congress would nullify the EPA's rule, effectively preventing it from being implemented or having any legal standing. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code), which allows Congress to review and potentially reject new federal regulations issued by government agencies. In this case, Congress is exercising its oversight authority to invalidate the EPA's proposed changes to Florida's air quality plan, indicating potential disagreement with the agency's regulatory approach.
