What This Bill Would Do
This resolution seeks to overturn a recent EPA rule that sets strict greenhouse gas emission standards for new and existing fossil fuel-fired power plants. If passed, the EPA's rule would be nullified and have no legal force or effect.
The resolution directly challenges the EPA's authority to regulate carbon emissions from power plants, which would determine whether power companies must comply with new federal emission limits or continue operating under previous standards.
