Summary of Bill SJRES 71
Bill 118 SJRes 71 is a joint resolution that seeks to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding standards of performance for new, reconstructed, and modified sources, as well as emissions guidelines for existing sources in the oil and natural gas sector. The rule in question, titled "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review," is being challenged by Congress under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code.
The resolution aims to reject the EPA's rule, which sets standards for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and natural gas sector. Supporters of the resolution argue that the rule imposes unnecessary regulations on the industry, leading to increased costs and hindering economic growth. They also claim that the EPA overstepped its authority in issuing the rule.
Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that the rule is necessary to address climate change and protect public health. They believe that the EPA's regulations are crucial in reducing harmful emissions from the oil and natural gas sector, which is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The resolution is currently under consideration in Congress, where lawmakers will debate and vote on whether to disapprove of the EPA's rule. The outcome of this resolution will have significant implications for the regulation of emissions in the oil and natural gas sector and the broader fight against climate change.
