Bill 118 hjres 133 is a piece of legislation that aims to provide congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles-Phase 3." The bill falls under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations put forth by federal agencies.
The rule in question, proposed by the EPA, sets standards for greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles in what is known as Phase 3 of the program. This program is designed to reduce the environmental impact of these vehicles by limiting the amount of greenhouse gases they can emit.
Supporters of Bill 118 hjres 133 argue that the EPA's rule places undue burdens on manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles, potentially leading to increased costs for consumers. They believe that Congress should have the authority to review and reject regulations that may have negative economic consequences.
Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that the EPA's rule is necessary to combat climate change and reduce air pollution. They believe that the regulations are in the best interest of public health and the environment, and that Congress should not interfere with the EPA's ability to set standards for emissions.
Overall, Bill 118 hjres 133 represents a debate between those who prioritize economic concerns and those who prioritize environmental concerns. The outcome of this legislation will have implications for the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles in the United States.
