Summary of Bill SJRES 92
Bill 118 SJRes 92 is a joint resolution in the US Congress that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. The rule in question pertains to the New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed fossil fuel-fired electric generating units, as well as emission guidelines for existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. Additionally, the rule seeks to repeal the Affordable Clean Energy Rule.
The resolution seeks to invoke congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, which allows Congress to overturn regulations issued by federal agencies. The EPA's rule on greenhouse gas emissions has been a contentious issue, with supporters arguing that it is necessary to combat climate change and protect public health, while opponents claim that it places undue burdens on the fossil fuel industry and could lead to job losses.
If passed, Bill 118 SJRes 92 would effectively nullify the EPA's rule on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. This resolution is part of ongoing debates in Congress over environmental regulations and the role of the federal government in addressing climate change.
