Summary of Bill HRES 177

Bill 119 H.Res. 177 is a legislative package that addresses three separate joint resolutions seeking congressional disapproval of rules submitted by various government agencies.

The first joint resolution, H.J. Res. 42, focuses on the Department of Energy's rule regarding the "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards." This rule pertains to certification requirements, labeling requirements, and enforcement provisions for certain consumer products and commercial equipment.

The second joint resolution, H.J. Res. 61, targets the Environmental Protection Agency's rule on "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing." This rule aims to regulate emissions from rubber tire manufacturing facilities to protect air quality and public health. The third joint resolution, S.J.

The bill provides for the consideration of these joint resolutions in Congress, allowing lawmakers to vote on whether to disapprove of the rules submitted by the respective agencies.
