Bill > SJRes85

This joint resolution is a congressional action to nullify a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units, specifically those used for temporary purposes and air curtain incinerators during disaster recovery efforts. The resolution, invoking Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code (which provides a mechanism for Congress to review and potentially overturn federal agency regulations), explicitly states that the EPA's rule published in the Federal Register on August 26, 2025, will be deemed to have no legal force or effect. By passing this resolution, Congress is exercising its legislative oversight power to challenge and potentially block a federal agency's regulatory action, effectively preventing the EPA's rule from being implemented or enforced.
