Summary of Bill SJRES 52

Bill 118 SJRes 52 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding lead emissions from aircraft engines that operate on leaded fuel. The rule, titled "Finding That Lead Emissions From Aircraft Engines That Operate on Leaded Fuel Cause or Contribute to Air Pollution That May Reasonably Be Anticipated To Endanger Public Health and Welfare," is being challenged by Congress under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code.

The resolution seeks to reject the EPA's determination that lead emissions from aircraft engines using leaded fuel pose a threat to public health and welfare. Supporters of the resolution argue that the EPA's findings are not based on sufficient evidence and could have negative impacts on the aviation industry. Critics of the resolution, on the other hand, believe that lead emissions from aircraft engines are a significant source of air pollution and pose a risk to public health.

The resolution is currently being debated in Congress, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing their views on the issue. It remains to be seen whether the resolution will be passed and whether the EPA's rule will be upheld or rejected.
