Summary of Bill HJRES 150

Bill 118 hjres 150, also known as the "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to 'National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units Review of the Residual Risk and Technology Review'," is a piece of legislation that seeks to overturn a rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding emissions standards for coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units.

The rule in question, titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units Review of the Residual Risk and Technology Review," aims to review and potentially update the emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants from these types of power plants. The EPA's rule is part of the agency's efforts to protect public health and the environment by reducing harmful emissions from power plants.

However, some members of Congress believe that the EPA's rule is overly burdensome and could have negative economic impacts on the coal and oil industries. As a result, Bill 118 hjres 150 seeks to disapprove of the EPA's rule under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations within a certain timeframe. The passage of Bill 118 hjres 150 would effectively nullify the EPA's rule and prevent it from being implemented. Supporters of the bill argue that it would protect jobs and industries that rely on coal and oil for energy production, while opponents argue that it would undermine efforts to reduce air pollution and protect public health. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 150 represents a contentious debate between economic interests and environmental concerns, highlighting the complex and often conflicting priorities that policymakers must navigate when addressing issues related to air pollution and energy production.
