H.J.Res. 210

House

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to “California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision”

Passed the House

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

In brief

This joint resolution provides for congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning pollution standards for ocean-going vessels at berth in California ports. By invoking the Congressional Review Act, the resolution seeks to nullify the EPA's decision to allow California to enforce stricter engine standards for ships docked at its harbors. If enacted, the resolution would strike down the regulation, affecting maritime shipping and environmental enforcement in California coastal waters. It passed the House on a near party-line vote.
