Bill Summary
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units". Nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency's rule published on October 23, 2015, that requires states to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs). (Those EGUs convert fossil fuel energy to electric energy.)
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, H.J. RES. 72, formally expresses Congress's disapproval of a specific rule from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning "Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units." This disapproval, exercised under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, effectively nullifies the EPA's rule that was published on October 23, 2015. The rule in question required states to implement measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing electric utility generating units (EGUs), which are facilities that convert energy from fossil fuels into electricity. By passing this resolution, Congress is preventing that particular EPA rule from taking effect.
