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 "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Small Off-Road Engines Regulations; Notice of Decision".
This bill, SJR205, is a joint resolution aimed at disapproving a rule created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The rule pertains to California's Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards and regulates small off-road engines. Essentially, the bill seeks to overturn this specific EPA regulation.
The bill would primarily affect those who own or operate small off-road engines, such as those used in lawn mowers, generators, and other equipment. If the bill is passed, the regulation could be nullified, potentially affecting emissions standards and compliance requirements in states that follow California's standards.
Currently, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. It has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing or a vote. The next steps will involve further examination, possible amendments, and a vote by the committee before it can move forward in the legislative process.
