HR Bill 2288 Common Sense Air Regulations ActUpdated 1 day ago

Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-03-24

Bill 119 HR 2288 aims to nullify a final rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) called "Reconsideration of the National Ambient Air Quality ...

Standards for Particulate Matter." The bill seeks to overturn this rule, which was put in place to reassess the standards for particulate matter in the air. Particulate matter refers to tiny particles in the air that can come from various sources such as vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and natural sources like wildfires. These particles can have negative health effects when inhaled, especially for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. The EPA's rule aimed to reconsider the current standards for particulate matter in order to potentially tighten regulations and improve air quality. However, this bill seeks to nullify that rule, which could potentially result in the standards remaining unchanged. Supporters of the bill argue that the current standards are sufficient and that tightening regulations could place undue burdens on industries and local governments. Opponents, on the other hand, believe that stricter standards are necessary to protect public health and the environment. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2288 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over environmental regulations and their impact on public health and industry.

HJRES Bill 25 Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales".Updated 1 day ago

Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-01-21

f gross proceeds by brokers who facilitate digital asset sales. The rule in question requires brokers who regularly provide services for digital asset sales to report the gross proceeds from these transactions to the IRS. The bill falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations proposed by federal agencies. In this case, Congress is seeking to disapprove of the IRS rule on the grounds that it may impose unnecessary burdens on brokers and hinder the growth of the digital asset market. Supporters of the bill argue that the IRS rule is overly intrusive and could stifle innovation in the digital asset industry. They believe that brokers should not be required to report gross proceeds from these transactions, as it may discourage individuals from participating in the market. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that the reporting of gross proceeds is necessary for tax compliance and enforcement purposes. They believe that brokers should be held accountable for facilitating digital asset sales and should be required to report this information to the IRS. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 25 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the regulation of digital assets and the role of federal agencies in overseeing this emerging market.
