Summary of Bill SJRES 65
Bill 118 SJRes 65 is a joint resolution that seeks to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the reconsideration of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter. The rule in question is related to the regulation of particulate matter in the air, which can have harmful effects on public health and the environment.
The resolution falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies. In this case, Congress is seeking to disapprove of the EPA's rule on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter.
Particulate matter refers to tiny particles in the air that can come from a variety of sources, including vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and natural sources like wildfires. These particles can be harmful to human health, especially when they are inhaled, as they can cause respiratory issues and exacerbate conditions like asthma and heart disease. The EPA's rule on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter is a significant regulatory action that could have far-reaching implications for air quality and public health. By seeking to disapprove of this rule, Congress is asserting its authority to review and potentially reject regulations that it believes may not be in the best interest of the American people. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 65 is a legislative effort to challenge the EPA's rule on particulate matter standards and ensure that regulations related to air quality are carefully considered and in line with the public interest.
