Summary of Bill HJRES 199

Bill 118 hjres 199, also known as the "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration relating to Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks for Model Years 2027 and Beyond and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks and Vans for Model Years 2030 and Beyond," is a piece of legislation that seeks to overturn a rule proposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding fuel economy standards for vehicles.

The rule in question pertains to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars and light trucks for model years 2027 and beyond, as well as fuel efficiency standards for heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans for model years 2030 and beyond. The NHTSA's proposed rule aims to set new, more stringent standards for vehicle fuel efficiency in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

However, some members of Congress believe that the NHTSA's proposed rule is overly burdensome for the automotive industry and could potentially harm the economy. As a result, Bill 118 hjres 199 seeks to disapprove of the NHTSA's rule under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations within a certain timeframe. The passage of this bill would effectively nullify the NHTSA's proposed rule and prevent it from being implemented. Supporters of the bill argue that it would protect businesses and consumers from unnecessary regulations, while opponents argue that it would hinder efforts to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 199 represents a contentious debate over the balance between environmental protection and economic considerations in the regulation of vehicle fuel efficiency standards.
