Summary of Bill HJRES 87
The bill seeks to challenge the EPA's authority to regulate these specific areas of environmental policy, particularly in relation to California's unique state standards for vehicle emissions. By disapproving of the EPA's rule, Congress is asserting its oversight role in environmental regulations and potentially opening the door for further debate and potential changes to these standards.
Overall, Bill 119 hjres 87 represents a significant moment in the ongoing discussion around environmental policy and the balance of power between federal and state governments in regulating emissions from vehicles and engines. It will be important to monitor the progress of this bill and any potential impacts it may have on environmental protections moving forward.

I don't know all the details about this, but I support disapproval of that rule. It could impact my state and I don't like it. #HJRES87 #EPA #CleanAir
