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.
