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 "Emissions Budget and Allowance Allocations for Indiana Under the Revised Cross-State Air Pollution Rule Update".
SJRES 60 is a joint resolution that would disapprove an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule setting pollution emission limits and allocating allowances for Indiana under a revised cross-state air pollution plan. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2025, would have required Indiana-based power plants and industrial facilities to adhere to specific emissions caps and manage pollution allowances. If passed, this resolution would cancel the EPA rule, preventing it from taking effect and halting its implementation. The resolution uses the congressional disapproval process under the Congressional Review Act to nullify the agency's regulation.
