SJRES 65 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 Approval; Florida; Revisions to Stationary Sources-Removal of Clean Air Interstate Rule Provisions".

This bill (SJRES 65) seeks to block a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule related to Florida's air quality plan. It targets the EPA's approval of Florida's revisions to stationary sources (like factories and power plants) that removed provisions tied to the Clean Air Interstate Rule. The resolution would formally disapprove this rule under federal law (Chapter 8 of Title 5), preventing it from taking effect. This action directly affects Florida's industrial facilities by stopping the removal of certain air pollution controls under the interstate rule. The bill does not create new regulations but aims to halt a specific EPA action regarding state air quality management.
