H.J.Res. 213

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision".

Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. James Gallagher (R-CA)

The joint resolution would block an Environmental Protection Agency decision that authorized California to enforce stricter pollution rules for commercial harbor vessels. It would reverse EPA approval of California's updated regulations, which would have set new emission standards for different types of vessels and expanded which boats must comply with the rules.[AI-Generated]
