Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards".
HJRES 53 seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would establish new emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses. If passed, the resolution would prevent the EPA's rule from taking effect by invoking a congressional disapproval process under Title 5 of U.S. law. The rule, published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2023, aimed to reduce air pollution from new heavy-duty engine standards. This disapproval would halt the implementation of those specific vehicle emissions requirements.
