SJRES 139 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Air Plan Disapproval; Colorado; Regional Haze Plan for the Second Implementation Period".

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.
