This joint resolution seeks to officially disapprove a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding PFAS chemical reporting. The bill directly affects the EPA by declaring the rule invalid and preventing it from taking legal effect. It aims to stop the agency from changing the timeline for when businesses must submit data about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. If passed, the EPA would be unable to enforce the modified submission period outlined in the original regulation.

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding Colorado's regional haze air quality plan. If passed, it would nullify the EPA's decision to disapprove Colorado's second implementation period plan for reducing air pollution from distant sources. The measure directly affects the state of Colorado and the EPA by preventing the federal agency from enforcing its disapproval of the state's air quality strategy. Under this legislation, the EPA's rule would have no legal force or effect, leaving the status of Colorado's air plan unchanged.
