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; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision".
This bill proposes to reject a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding pollution control standards for ocean-going vessels at ports in California. If passed, the measure would use a congressional veto to cancel the rule, preventing it from taking legal effect. The legislation directly impacts the EPA's ability to enforce these specific emission limits and affects shipping companies and ports in California that would have been subject to the new standards.

MINOR
This is a procedural update reflecting HJRES 210 moving from 'Introduced in House' to 'Engrossed in House' status. The substantive policy content - disapproving an EPA rule on California nonroad engine pollution standards for ocean-going vessels at berth - is unchanged. The changes consist of removing the original sponsor and committee referral language, adding a passage date of September 15, 2026, and adding the clerk's name.
TECHNICAL
Version status changed from 'Introduced in House' (IH) to 'Engrossed in House' (EH), indicating the bill passed the House.
Original sponsor attribution ('Mr. Fong (for himself and Mr. Gallagher) submitted the following joint resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce') and introduction date (August 6, 2026) were removed from the text, as is standard when a bill is engrossed after passage.
Passage date 'September 15, 2026' and clerk name 'Kevin F. McCumber' were added at the end of the resolution, confirming House passage.
