Bill 119 hjres 30 is a piece of legislation that aims to provide congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020.

The rule in question relates to the management of certain HFCs and their substitutes, which are commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The EPA's rule is intended to regulate the production, importation, and use of HFCs in order to reduce their impact on the environment and climate change.

However, some members of Congress believe that the EPA's rule goes too far in restricting the use of HFCs and could have negative economic consequences for businesses that rely on these chemicals. As a result, Bill 119 hjres 30 seeks to overturn the EPA's rule through a process known as congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code. Overall, the passage of Bill 119 hjres 30 would signal Congress's rejection of the EPA's rule on HFCs and could potentially impact the future regulation of these chemicals in the United States.
