Passed the House

The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.

In brief

This resolution provides for congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency decision that allowed California to enforce specific pollution standards for ocean-going vessels while they are at berth in ports. By nullifying this rule, the resolution prevents California from implementing these unique state-level emissions requirements for large cargo and cruise ships. It affects port operations and shipping companies operating in California waters. The resolution passed the House and proceeds to the Senate.
