Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn a federal rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. If Congress passes this joint resolution and it becomes law, the named EPA rule is nullified and cannot take effect. The CRA also stops the agency from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future unless Congress passes new legislation.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing (89 Fed. Reg. 94886, Nov. 29, 2024).
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
As a CRA disapproval, the Senate can consider this measure under expedited procedures that prevent a filibuster and require only a simple majority for passage; as a joint resolution it still must pass both chambers and be signed by the President to become law.
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process to disapprove and nullify the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" (89 Fed.
Reg. 94886, Nov. 29, 2024).
If enacted, the resolution would render that EPA rule without force or effect and block implementation as provided under the CRA framework.
Narrow and administratively simple but politically charged; needs both chambers and executive approval, raising overall difficulty.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise Congressional Review Act disapproval resolution that clearly names the targeted EPA rule and states the operative outcome. It relies on the statutory CRA mechanism rather than providing extensive explanatory, fiscal, or procedural detail.
Public health/environmental protection versus regulatory burden on industry
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Public health/environmental protection versus regulatory burden on industry
Likely strongly opposed.
They would view the resolution as an attempt to strip public-health and air pollution safeguards for workers and nearby communities.
They would argue the EPA rule addresses toxic emissions from tire manufacturing and that nullifying it risks increased pollution.
Mixed to somewhat skeptical.
They would weigh environmental benefits of the EPA standard against compliance costs and regulatory process concerns.
They may prefer revising the rule or ordering a transparent cost-benefit reassessment rather than an outright nullification via CRA.
Likely broadly supportive.
They would view the resolution as correcting regulatory overreach, protecting manufacturers from costly mandates, and reasserting congressional control over significant agency rules.
They may argue the EPA rule imposes burdens without proportional benefit.
