Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision".
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific Environmental Protection Agency rule that granted California the authority to enforce its own nonroad engine pollution standards for commercial harbor craft. If enacted, the bill would render the EPA’s decision invalid and prevent it from taking effect. The measure directly affects California by removing its ability to impose stricter local emissions regulations on these vessels.
