Summary of Bill SJRES 14
Bill 119 SJRes 14 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove 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 pertains to the management of certain HFCs and their substitutes.
HFCs are synthetic gases commonly used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and other applications. They are known to be potent greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. The EPA's rule aims to regulate the use and production of HFCs in order to reduce their impact on the environment.
The resolution seeks to disapprove of the EPA's rule under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn agency regulations. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the EPA's rule and prevent it from being implemented. Supporters of the resolution argue that the EPA's rule would impose unnecessary burdens on businesses and consumers, leading to higher costs and potential job losses. They believe that the regulation of HFCs should be left to industry-led initiatives rather than government intervention. Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that the EPA's rule is necessary to address the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. They believe that regulating HFCs is a crucial step in protecting the environment and public health. Overall, Bill 119 SJRes 14 represents a contentious debate over the regulation of HFCs and the role of government in addressing climate change. The resolution will ultimately be decided by Congress, with potential implications for the future of environmental policy in the United States.
