Summary of Bill SJRES 99
Bill 118 SJRes 99 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Council on Environmental Quality regarding revisions to the National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations in Phase 2. 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 Council on Environmental Quality's rule in question seeks to make changes to the regulations governing the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA is a landmark environmental law that requires federal agencies to assess the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and involve the public in the decision-making process.
The resolution, if passed, would effectively nullify the Council on Environmental Quality's proposed revisions to the NEPA regulations. Supporters of the resolution argue that the changes would weaken environmental protections and limit public input in the decision-making process for federal projects. Critics of the resolution, on the other hand, believe that the revisions are necessary to streamline the NEPA process and reduce regulatory burdens on federal agencies. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 99 is a significant piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over the balance between environmental protection and regulatory efficiency in the United States. It will be important to monitor the progress of the resolution in Congress and the potential implications of its passage or rejection.
