118th Congress (1st) Vote 98 is a Senate Vote on Bill SJRES 11, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards".. SJRES 11 was introduced on February 9, 2023 by 1 Sponsors and 74 Cosponsors.

Bill 118 SJRes 11 is a joint resolution that seeks to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the "Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards." The rule in question aims to set standards for reducing air pollution from heavy-duty engines and vehicles.

If passed, this resolution would invoke Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies. The resolution is being introduced as a means of challenging the EPA's authority to implement these specific regulations.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the EPA's rule could have negative economic impacts on industries that rely on heavy-duty vehicles, such as the transportation and construction sectors. They also raise concerns about the potential costs associated with implementing the new standards. Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, believe that the EPA's rule is necessary to protect public health and the environment from harmful air pollutants emitted by heavy-duty vehicles. They argue that the regulations are based on sound scientific evidence and are essential for reducing air pollution and addressing climate change. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 11 represents a contentious debate over the balance between environmental protection and economic considerations in regulating air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles.
