Summary of Bill HJRES 89

Bill 119 hjres 89 is a piece of legislation that aims to provide congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding California State Motor Vehicle and Engine and Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards. The rule in question pertains to the "Omnibus" Low NOX Regulation, as well as the waiver of preemption and notice of decision.

The EPA's rule seeks to establish stricter pollution control standards for motor vehicles and engines in California, with the goal of reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality. However, some members of Congress believe that the rule exceeds the EPA's authority and infringes on states' rights to set their own environmental regulations.

If Bill 119 hjres 89 is passed, it would signify Congress's disapproval of the EPA's rule and prevent it from being implemented. This would likely lead to further debate and potential revisions to the rule in question. Overall, the passage of this bill would have significant implications for environmental policy and regulation in the United States, particularly in relation to vehicle emissions standards and state autonomy in setting environmental regulations.
