Summary of Bill SJRES 24

Bill 119 SJRes 24 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants in the Rubber Tire Manufacturing industry. The resolution falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations proposed by federal agencies.

The rule in question focuses on regulating the emissions of hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire manufacturing facilities. These pollutants can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, so the EPA has proposed standards to limit their release into the air.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the EPA's rule is overly burdensome on the rubber tire manufacturing industry, potentially leading to job losses and economic hardship. They believe that the rule should be overturned to protect the interests of businesses and workers in this sector. Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that the EPA's rule is necessary to protect public health and the environment from the harmful effects of hazardous air pollutants. They believe that the standards set by the EPA are reasonable and necessary to ensure the well-being of communities near rubber tire manufacturing facilities. Ultimately, the fate of Bill 119 SJRes 24 will be decided by Congress, with lawmakers weighing the potential economic impacts on the rubber tire manufacturing industry against the need to protect public health and the environment from harmful air pollutants.
