HJRES 214 United States House · 119th Congress

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; Small Off-Road Engines Regulations; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that granted California permission to enforce its own stricter pollution standards for small off-road engines. If enacted, the measure would revoke this waiver, effectively preventing California from implementing regulations that exceed federal requirements for equipment such as lawn mowers and generators. The bill operates under congressional review authority to nullify the agency's decision, ensuring that national uniformity is maintained for these specific engine emissions standards.
