Summary of Bill HJRES 114

Bill 118 hjres 114 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration regarding National Performance Management Measures and the assessment of the performance of the National Highway System, specifically in relation to greenhouse gas emissions. The bill falls under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially reject regulations put forth by federal agencies.

The rule in question focuses on establishing measures to assess the performance of the National Highway System in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
