S.J.Res. 12
SenateA joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board relating to "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status".
Sponsor: Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
The Senate has passed this bill. It now moves to the House.
In brief
This joint resolution nullifies an Environmental Protection Agency rule that established an annual charge on methane and other greenhouse gas emissions for companies in the petroleum and natural gas sectors. The rule, originally published in November 2024, outlined compliance procedures and exemptions for energy facilities that exceed specific waste emissions thresholds. If enacted, the resolution would prevent the agency from collecting these fees and enforcing the Methane Emissions Reduction Program. Introduced by Senator John Hoeven (R-ND), the legislation was indefinitely postponed in the Senate because its provisions were enacted into law through another joint resolution.
