A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Council on Environmental Quality relating to "National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations Revisions Phase 2".
This bill (SJRES 99) is a congressional resolution seeking to block a specific environmental regulation. It targets the Council on Environmental Quality's "National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations Revisions Phase 2" rule, which was published in the Federal Register on May 1, 2024. If passed, the resolution would formally disapprove this rule, preventing it from taking effect and halting its implementation by federal agencies. The rule would have modified how agencies conduct environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), but the resolution directly stops that change without altering NEPA itself.
