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.

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.
