Summary of Bill HJRES 79
Bill 119 hjres 79 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the reclassification of major sources as area sources under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The bill falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations put forth by federal agencies.
The rule in question, proposed by the EPA, seeks to reclassify certain major sources of air pollution as area sources. This reclassification could potentially have significant implications for how these sources are regulated and monitored under the Clean Air Act.
If Bill 119 hjres 79 is passed, it would signify Congress's disapproval of the EPA's rule and prevent it from going into effect. This would effectively maintain the current classification of major sources and ensure that they continue to be subject to the existing regulations and oversight outlined in the Clean Air Act. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 79 represents a congressional effort to exercise oversight and control over environmental regulations proposed by federal agencies, specifically in relation to the classification of major sources of air pollution.
