Bill 119 SJRes 45 is a joint resolution that seeks to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards. The rule in question pertains to "Advanced Clean Cars II" and the waiver of preemption, as well as the notice of decision related to these standards.
The resolution 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 EPA's rule regarding California's emission standards for vehicles and engines is being called into question.
The resolution aims to provide congressional disapproval of the EPA's rule, indicating that there may be concerns or disagreements with the standards set forth by the agency. This could potentially lead to changes in the regulations or a reversal of the EPA's decision.
Overall, Bill 119 SJRes 45 highlights the ongoing debate and scrutiny surrounding environmental regulations and the role of federal agencies in setting and enforcing standards for pollution control. It will be interesting to see how this resolution progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on California's emission standards moving forward.
