Bill 119 hjres 26 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 rule in question sets standards for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses.

The bill falls under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations put forth by federal agencies. In this case, the bill seeks to reject the EPA's rule on greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles.

Supporters of the bill argue that the EPA's rule places undue burdens on the automotive industry and could lead to job losses. They believe that the standards set by the EPA are too strict and could harm the economy. 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 standards set by the EPA are reasonable and achievable, and that overturning them would be a step backward in the fight against climate change. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 26 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate between economic interests and environmental concerns. It remains to be seen how Congress will ultimately vote on this bill and what impact it will have on greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles.
