HJRES 151 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Supplemental Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category".

HJRES 151 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would have set new water pollution standards for steam electric power plants, including coal and nuclear facilities. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2024, aimed to limit pollutants discharged into waterways from these power plants. If passed, this resolution would block the rule from taking effect under the Congressional Review Act. It directly affects steam electric power plants by preventing the implementation of these new environmental requirements.
