Passed the House

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

In brief

This joint resolution utilizes the Congressional Review Act to formally disapprove of and nullify a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule. The targeted rule relates to California's state pollution control standards for commercial harbor craft, which the EPA had previously granted a waiver for enforcement. If enacted, this resolution would prevent the EPA from implementing these specific emissions requirements for harbor vessels. It passed the House and now moves to the Senate.
