HJRES 61 — 119th Congress
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regarding air pollution standards for rubber tire manufacturing facilities. The EPA rule, published in November 2024, established national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from the rubber tire manufacturing industry. By passing this resolution, Congress is exercising its authority to disapprove and nullify federal agency regulations. If enacted, this resolution would prevent the EPA's emission standards for rubber tire manufacturing from taking effect or having any legal force. The Congressional Review Act allows Congress to review and reject rules issued by federal agencies within a certain timeframe after their publication. This is a procedural mechanism that requires only a simple majority vote in both chambers and the President's signature (or a veto override) to nullify agency regulations.
