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.
